“THE CHAIRMAN, A NOVEL OF BIG CITY POLITICS” IS AVAILABLE!!!

10/14/09

My long awaited book, The Chairman, A Novel of Big City Politics, is available. In fact, I am looking at a copy of the book as I type this. It is not yet available on Amazon, but…

The book can be ordered immediately through my publisher, BookSurge, an Amazon subsidiary, by placing a call to Customer Service to

866 308 6235, option 6

or

843 789 5000, option 6

If you decide to use this ordering method, referring to the book’s ISBN number, 978 1 4392 5559 9 should make the process easier, but simply asking for The Chairman, A Novel of Big City Politics by Mark M. Quinn should be sufficient. The price is $15.99. Shipping depends on where you want it shipped, but should be about $3.00 for US mail and $5.50 for USPS ground.

THE BOOK SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.COM AND BOOKSURGE.COM “OVER THE COURSE OF 15 BUSINESS DAYS” FROM 10/13.
BookSurge seemed to indicate that the 15 business days is a worst case scenario and it should be available earlier. I, of course, will be checking daily and will let you know when the book is available on Amazon. The price should be the same, though Amazon may choose to discount the book.

Ordering by phone through BookSurge is probably a hassle for most of you and you would prefer to wait to buy the book through Amazon. I completely understand. For some of you, however, ordering by phone is at least as easy as ordering through Amazon, so you might want to avail yourself of that option.

I do need strong sales in the early stages of the process in order to make the book a success and/or to get it into bookstores, and I am quite confident that, if you have any interest in Chicago politics, or just in good writing, you’ll enjoy this book. So please buy a copy, using whatever method is easier for you. Remember also that the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons will soon be upon us, and books make great gifts!

Thanks for your friendship and support through the years. If you’ve liked my blog over the years, buying a copy of the book would be an ideal way to show support for it.

Again, thanks. I will keep you very posted.
