Blowing my own Trumpet

I hope you’ll indulge me blowing my own trumpet today. I’ve had a few conversations recently with folks who’ve just started online businesses, and it’s made me realise how far the bookstore aspect of INFECTED BOOKS has come over the last couple of decades. I wanted to give it an overdue plug.

Let’s go back to the early days… way, way, way back in 2003(ish) when INFECTED BOOKS first appeared online, if you wanted to buy a signed book from me it was a slow and cumbersome process that usually involved the exchange of several emails followed by physical cash or a cheque, then a delay while I got hold of the book, packaged it, then walked round to the Post Office and sent it to you. These days IB is a far more slick operation, with thousands of orders successfully processed. Stock levels are carefully managed and www.infectedbooks.co.uk is safe, secure, and well-reviewed. I come from an operations and customer service background, and the bookstore run like I used to run other people’s businesses. Old habits die hard!

If you haven’t already, please do check it out:

  • All books are signed, and you can request personalisation
  • All orders are dispatched within 24 hours
  • Prices are typically cheaper than other online bookstores (including the ‘big A’)
  • Postage to UK addresses is absolutely free
  • Purchases of books published by Infected Books include complementary eBook downloads (and the process for getting your download has recently been automated)

So, again, please forgive the self-indulgent advert, and visit www.infectedbooks.co.uk if you’re at all interested in picking up signed copies of my books. For a limited period you can get 10% off your order if you quote promo code TRUMPET10 at checkout!
