People keep asking me certain questions about where they can get the book online or locally, so I thought I’d summarize the relevant info here.
The Salvation of Billy Wayne Carter and Other Stories is available online in two places:
- Amazon.com – Buying it from Amazon is great if you want to combine it with other things you are buying to save on shipping, or if you happen to have a gift certificate. It would also be great if people would post reviews here. That really helps a lot. The book is also now available for Amazon Kindle.
- Lulu.com – I make a little more money if you buy it from Lulu because Amazon takes a small cut if you buy it from them. But it’s really not a significant amount. If you prefer, you can also buy it from Lulu in e-book format. It’s cheaper that way, but obviously not as nice of a product as the paperback IMO.
I’m working on getting it in some local independent bookstores. So far, it’s in stock at local bookstores in three cities.
- Birmingham, AL – At the Alabama Booksmith, where I worked when I was in college at UAB. Copies in the store are already signed.
- Gainesville, FL – At both Goering’s and Books Inc, both fine stores where I shopped for books when I lived down there.
- Brooklyn, NY – At Word bookstore in Greenpoint. This is the store that sponsors my basketball league. Copies in the store here are signed.
- Manhattan, NY – At Left Bank Books in Greenwich Village. A very cool and tiny store on charming W 4th Street.
You can also go to ANY bookstore ANYWHERE and ask them to order a copy for you. It will help them if they have the ISBN number, which is 978-0-557-10294-5.
They will likely want to figure out if they can buy it at a discount, which will allow them to sell it to you at a profit. I do offer a discount to bookstores, but they have to contact me directly at david (dot) hornbuckle (at) gmail (dot) com. Feel free to pass that information on to your preferred local store.
