The Year That Was 2016

Well, the year is ending, so it is time for a review of all that was done this year.  Firstly, and most importantly, we set up the website.  There are still some bugs on occasion as we learn what we can do, but we are getting closer to a goal up setting up some major features.  The most important of these will be the availability of online purchases, but this is still a few weeks off at least.  We had Bob Morgan and Roddi Lundy come in for author signings.  Although we had hoped for others, we weren't able to get any more.  We are still trying to get more authors in.  We started out on social media on both Google + and Facebook.  Not everything is fully integrated yet, but we are hoping to devote more time in connecting everything together.  We are still trying to change our focus on to particular genres, but we might want to expand our offerings.  Your opinions on such matters would be greatly appreciated, so feel free to comment when we ask you what you would like to see.  Finally, we would like to thank all of our customers for choosing Booknotes as their destination.  Honestly, we enjoy your business as well as your company and insights.  Thank you all, and we hope to see you all again in the new year.

Merry Christmas to Everyone

Scheduling this post to save time.  One big announcement for now.  Huge year-end clearance sale to start Tuesday, December 27!  Still haven't worked out all the details, so it it kind of a secret.  That is one of the reasons this post is coming out at a different time than usual.  Hope to see all of you soon!

It Is Beginning To Look Like . . .

Sorry about not having the blog up properly, somehow it got disconnected.  Anyway, we have yet been able to get the old blog loaded back, so we have hidden it for now until we can fix it.  The Facebook connections might finally be solved, although it will take a few more days to make sure.  We are planning some huge announcements for after Christmas, so be on the lookout here and our social media sites for more information.  If you have not yet noticed, we will be open on short hours Saturday, December 24, Christmas Eve.  We will probably be closing around 3:00 pm or so.  Call first and we might be able to stay open a little longer for you.  Also, remember the deadline for orders.  Anything after this deadline will have shipping fees, at least, or will have to wait until after the holidays.  Gift certificates are available if needed.  We can also make recommendations of our current selection.  Goodbye for now.

Mark Your Calendars

The deadline for guaranteed Christmas delivery of special orders is currently 10:00 am, Wednesday, December 21.  Some products might have an earlier deadline depending on which distributor we will have to place the order with.  Additionally, some orders could theoretically be placed later, but with a hefty surcharge for delivery in time.  Even then, we might not be able to get it by Christmas.  So, place your orders early!  The later you wait, the less likely it is to get your gift in time.  However, gift certificates are available in case you aren't able to find the right gift or it won't be delivered in time for Christmas.  That being said, I cannot think of anything else to add  on that.  Be sure to check us out on Facebook.  We still haven't figured everything out yet on how to connect through the website, but we now have a book that might just help us out.  Wish us luck!

Let's Get Down to Business

As you may have noticed, we have been trying to get everything tied in together on the website.  The new Blogger blog is up and running, even if there are some technical issues with the original blog.  We are trying to get our connections to social media working, we are currently on both Google+ and Facebook even if there is little to show on the website about either.  We can't seem to find the right app to add the connectivity.  We are still looking into the possibility for online sales, E-bay might turn out to be the best choice.  Still looking into a partnership deal with another business as well.  At least we have updated some of the out-of-date references that we had accidentally kept up to long.  We just don't seem to have enough time most days to get everything working together.  Remember to start placing your orders for Christmas.  Next week we will be posting the deadlines for guaranteed Christmas delivery.  Tell us if you like the new game we partially hid on one of the pages; we would really like to know how you feel about it.
