Wanna See My High-Tech Distribution Center?
December 8th, 2008Earlier today, I received an email from Geraldine that reads, “Adam – I can’t believe it. Your book has already arrived. I ordered it just yesterday. Thanks so much for the quick delivery. I can’t wait to read it as my aortic valve will be replaced next Tuesday. By the way, who handles the distribution of your book?”
First off, my thoughts and prayers are with Geraldine. After learning who her surgeon was, I know she is going to do just great with a new mechanical aortic valve.
Second, I had to smile and chuckle after reading Geraldine’s question, “Who handles your distribution?”
Why? Well… If you knew how my book was packaged and distributed, you might laugh too. Here’s how distribution is handled:
I receive the paperback books (in bulk) from a printer in Atlanta, Georgia. Then, about once a month, I clear off our kitchen table and go-to-work stuffing envelopes. I even bribe my pregnant wife, Robyn, into helping me. I can’t say it’s a fun, exciting activity. But, at the same time, Robyn and I always manage to have fun putting the books together.
Keep on tickin!
