When I first saw that top post, I missed the author's name. I was looking at the illustration, marveling at that "Quicksteps" nickname (Quickstep Reyes) but wondering why Edgy posted the book cover in the first place. Now I see. Hah. Great work. Will there be any extraterrestrials in there? Wilmington. It figures.

But I don't recognize this author. Who is it? Later

Sorry, I posted the wrong cover.

Why is there a six-month pre-order time period? I don't buy a lot of new books
|
| TransMonk Oct 12 2017 03:51 PM Re: Once Upon a Team |
|
I'm not sure if it is the same in the book industry (and JCL can definitely speak to that better than I), but in the record industry often artists will offer pre-orders to offset some of the production and printing costs that would otherwise have to be either pre-paid by the artist or borrowed on loan at a high percentage from parent companies. The artist gets less money on the back end after the release, but does not necessarily pay up front for some of the production costs.

When I link to a book, I try to link to it at the publisher's site instead of Amazon, because Amazon is Amazon. But a cursory search could not locate it at the publisher's site.

So, I think I finished this, or at least a version of it. That's why I've been MIA for the last month.

Today, exactly 134 years to the day that the Eastern League's 1884 season got underway, the book is out.

That is a good point. Where is it the most profitable to you for us to order it, Lunchie?

I ordered mine! Looking forward to the part where we learn who wore which uniform number. I like books like that.

Got my Gigantazon email just now, 5/18 delivery doesn't seem so Prime®.

My copy came this week. A little disappointed, only because it appears these guys never even wore numbers. Who is the freaking Jeff McKnight of this group? Other than that small beef, it's wonderful!

I bought the ebook version for my nook while at Barnes and Noble last week. Read it while relaxing on the beach the past two days. I learned a lot about the early years of professional baseball. I found it interesting that with the numerous professional leagues competing for players to fill their team rosters and the financial instability of many of the teams, the players had a surprising amount of freedom to negotiate for the best deal they could get (though no contracts were guaranteed).

Thanks again guys! I'm flirting with a real publicist, who will probably cost more than I was paid.

I will post a review and recommendation on Barnes and Noble site and Goodreads when I get back home from vacation.

I have had my copy on my coffee table for a few weeks until I got through all the lesser books I was reading.

Good Quicksteps listening on Good Seats Still Available, a podcast devoted to teams and leagues that forgot to continue existing.
