Friday Follow-Up: News Re Words In Our Beak

SEE PRESS RELEASE

MY BOOK IS CARRIED BY THIS STORE

Ever since the hardcover version of Words In Our Beak Volume One, (seen in the first image atop this  entry) was published (this past November) by Ingram Spark, I've been sending out press releases to bookstores, nature centers, and speciality shops. I've also queried some stores in hopes of getting them to let me host an event re this book.

One of the places that I reached out to is book culture On Columbus (a bookstore that has a location on the UWS in NYC), near to The American Museum of Natural History. A partial view of this store can be seen in the second image atop this entry (that I found on the Internet).

I contacted them by email (with my a "copy" of press release) on 12-5-2017 and a request discuss the possibility of my doing event at their store. The other day, I heard back from the event coordinator.
Here's a copy of his email to me:

"Hello Patricia,
Thank you for your interest in Book Culture! Unfortunately, our calendar is already at capacity for events for the upcoming season. We are not able to host you. It looks like we've sold some copies, though, so I'll make sure it's back in stock soon. I wish you luck with your tour!
Sincerely,
Cody"

I'm thrilled to have received this news, for as anyone who has been to Book Culture Columbus knows, the store is AMAZING! I hope that peeps living in #NYC as well as the surrounding area can pop over to #bookcultureOnColumbus and have a look at it.

After all, 2018's calendar year is #TheYearofTheBird, as I stated in a recent post on PY's FB Page.

Plus, Valentines Day is just a little over one month a way, and it's the perfect gift for #birdlovers who #lovebirds!

For your information, dear reader, if you don't see a copy of #WordsInOurBeaKVolumeOne, in Book Culture Columbus, please mention this announcement to a staff member, and have them look it up for you. The ISBN number is 9780996378529, but I believe they just need the title to look it up.

The specifics of the book culture On Columbus location which I am referring to are the following:
ADDRESS:
450 Columbus Ave
between 81st St. and 82nd St.
New York, NY 10024
PHONE (212) 595-1962
EMAIL: columbus@bookculture.com
STORE HOURS:

Sunday: 9 AM to 8 PM

On another note, other news regarding the hardcover version of Words In Our Beak Volume One, includes a review that I just discovered on Amazon.


It was evidently posted (in late December of 2017) by the writer/musician/teacher Joan Budilovsky, and the review appears like this within the Amazon page for Words In Our Beak Volume One.

"5.0 out of 5 stars A bird's eye perspective!
ByYoyoga, Inc. (Consignment) on December 25, 2017
Format: Hardcover|Verified Purchase

If you are not yet a bird-lover, you will be after reading this book. Words in our Beak is so enchanting as it follows a little cardinal named, Cam, through the rooftops of NYC and beyond. Cam has so much to share from a bird's eye perspective, it was hard to put the book down. I became enveloped in Cam's world by imagining what it is like to live on a rooftop, choose the right flowers to eat, and listen to the world around in the most intimate, gentle and fascinating ways. Thank you, Cam! I hope to read ever more of your travels in the new year!"

I'm thrilled to have learned of this wonderful review on Amazon. I'm also extremely grateful to know that Words In Our Beak Volume One, is making it's way into #bookstores, especially one as amazing as book culture On Columbus.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


... that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
