handmade living in Dennis Jones Catalogue - Nov 2010

Well, here it is, everyone! handmade living in the Dennis Jones & Associates November 2010 book distribution catalogue - this is the catalogue that is distributed to bookstores Australia-wide.

How exciting is that!?

Now - who wouldn't want to order this fabulous book for their store!? Make sure you check with your local bookstore - and see if they're stocking handmade living. They won't regret it!

Complimentary Copies and Wholesaling

Hello gorgeous designers!

We've had a query from a designer over the wholesale price for copies she wishes to buy for personal use. Good question!

Remember, as outlined in the Designer Info pack and also on this website, every designer who appears in the book receives one complimentary copy. These copies will be available for pick up in Canberra from 4 December or by mail (in which case the designer pays postage).

Orders for books via the Handmade Canberra website or in stores or at the Shop or Market won't be offered at a wholesale price. The wholesale price of handmade living is for onselling only. This is for designers who wish to sell the book. We worked hard to strike this deal with Dennis Jones & Associates so that designers could make a nice little profit by onselling – and also, of course, so the book reaches a further audience.

Wholesale price therefore isn’t available unless you wish to onsell the book. Obviously, it's important this is adhered to.

Do be in touch if you have any more questions about this.

Only a few months now until handmade living is born!

Warmest wishes,

The Team

Want to Wholesale handmade living?

Dear all,

Yesterday you were sent wholesale details by email - we've come up with an amazing package for you via our distributor Dennis Jones & Associates - with quite an incredible discount on retail. What a wonderful opportunity to onsell copies of handmade living and with either low or no shipping costs - how cool is that!?

If you need to ask questions about accessing the books, when they will be available, how you pay for them, returns, etc etc, you will need to talk directly with Janet Judge at DJAs. Her email address was provided to you in the wholesaling email.

Have fun! Less than four months til the book's release...
