Receiving a box of freshly printed copies of your book is a thrilling aspect of being a self-published author. Opening the box to reveal your hard work in shiny book form never fails to make you feel proud.

This box of ten is to take to the UK Southern Book Fayre, where I very much hope to sell at least a few of them!

At least it doesn’t cost so much to get them from Amazon anymore, now that they are printed in the UK, it only cost around £4 for delivery – previously, they were delivered from the USA and postage pretty much decimated most of the royalties you might gain from selling them.
