Sales are brisk on <i>Bonewits\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Essential Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca,<\/i> though not as high as I might hope, since many people who would buy it bought the earlier edition <i>(Witchcraft: A Concise Guide)<\/i> a  year or two ago. <i>The Pagan Man: Priests, Warriors, Hunters, and Drummers<\/i> seems to be hitting its stride as word of mouth advertising is spreading the buzz among Pagan men that there&#8217;s a book focused on them for a change.<\/p>\n<p>Most exciting to me, however, is the evidence that <i>Bonewits\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Essential Guide to Druidism<\/i> is selling very rapidly, especially online. It&#8217;s been in the 50Ks in sales rank at BarnesandNoble.com, at Amazon.com, and at Amazon&#8217;s foreign outlets, which is fairly high for a non-Wiccan book on a Pagan topic. I attribute the rise in sales rank in part to the fact that Amazon had it listed as available for two weeks before it reverted to saying it wasn&#8217;t out yet (the &#8220;official&#8221; release date is August 31st). Considering that there has been only one review of it published online (at the RDNA Druid magazine site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/mikerdna\/newmissal47.html\">&#8220;A Druid Missal-any&#8221;<\/a>) and none at the online bookstores, these are pretty amazing sales!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I won&#8217;t actually make any more money from these books for six or nine months, but don&#8217;t let that stop you from getting your own copies before the first run printings sell out. (For more info on these and other books of mine, please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neopagan.net\/IB_Books.html\">Books Page,<\/a> where you will find links for reviews and purchases, including the purchase of autographed copies.)<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Phaedra and I finish writing <i>Real Energy,<\/i> we&#8217;re going to start on an update to <i>Real Magic,<\/i> as well as my <i>Poisoned Waters<\/i> and <i>Bonewits\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Essential Guide to Neopaganism<\/i>. That should keep me busy for a while!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve heard from my publishers about how the sale of my latest books are going, and so far so good.  <a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/2006\/08\/21\/book-sales-so-far\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,13,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-money","category-products","category-writing-notes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
