@BagpiperDon In Good News...
... 3 people messaged me to say that AZon sent them a recommendation email today with my book listed.
... I got a picture from a fellow who's the 1st I know of to receive a paper copy* -- said he was happy, GREAT! (*I don't even have a copy yet!)

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

NOT AWESOME... my newest #book isn't even one week published and it's already getting "read for free" rip-off's online.

@adelbrown Thanks!
It'll be fun to see what happens with this book -- it's not what my piping peers expect ... but there are signs that they're beginning to get more open minded.

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

My new book -- the ebook version is still holding as a #1 New Release in Music Composition.
Prop up the print book!

Yep -- I write #recipe #books, and I write bagpipe #sheetmusic books! The print version of my new bagpipe #ShantyPiper book has gone LIVE on Amazon and at The Piper's Hut!
And it's a #1 New Release at Amazon?!? It seems I do have some luck!!! 😎

@ClaudesBBQ Prepare for conversion!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@ClaudesBBQ I'm allergic to picklenog, man -- so, you know .... whatever!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@BuffaloRon You win some, you lose some...

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@ClaudesBBQ Looks good to me -- but then I haven't baked bread for the last eon, and I've never attempted scoring. So ... keep trying stuff and pushing food boundaries!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@ClaudesBBQ It could be worse -- it could be 7 .... although I'm trying to figure out how that'd be 'worse'.

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@ClaudesBBQ So, by 'private stock' .... you mean that you won't put one in an envelope and mail it to me?

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@ClaudesBBQ Presentation matters -- but when you get down to it, good eatin' food and healthy food is what matters. Good on ya!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@BagpiperDon Congratulations!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

@BagpiperDon ***AWESOME*** Good Luck!!!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

I think this is going to be my first print book that does not have both #recipes and #bagpipe music .... WEIRD!

[Whidbey Island Baking Co - BiscottiDon @WIBakingCo]

Working to finish my next #book ASAP -- doing the remaining tasks out of order, but being productive with the time I have. It's still progress, and something is better than nothing. Going live by the end of the month???
