Insights from Amanda

Stopped in at our fine local bookstore, J.W. Beecroft and chatted with Manager Amanda. She's been in the book biz for many a year and knows much about meeting the reading needs of customers. She said July is going to be a huge month because the new Harry Potter book is coming out. Bummer, we've got three books scheduled to come out in July. Well, maybe August. Yeah, that's the ticket. Or maybe June. Anything to release in a month when all the oxygen isn't being sucked up by a phenomenon like Harry Potter. One great thing about being Savage Press is that we don't get too shook up by phenoms. We keep on keeping on and continue to build on our successes, small or large though they be. I think it was Noel Coward, or maybe Irving Berlin, who said, "The only problem with being a success is you have to keep on being a success." Fortunately at SPI we don't have to keep on bringing out books as successful as Harry Potter. We do need to keep on doing what we do wall and be happy with that. And, mercifully, we don't have to compare ourselves to Harry Potter or anyone else because, "When you compare, you lose." As Popeye says, "I yam what I yam and dat's allI can be."
