On Being Water
Despite having my negotiations and relationship-building of the past year and half with Chapters/Indigo suddenly take a turn south yesterday, I’ve decided to follow my two mantras:
-
Be like water and flow around an obstacle. Margaret Atwood
-
The only failures are those who fail to try. Lester B. Pearson.
As a result, I’ve decided to aggressively market Five Rivers books through our own website, while still offering them through all the major online booksellers worldwide. And taking cue from many of those online booksellers, Five Rivers is now offering free shipping on orders, exclusive of cooperage and glass products, as per the following:
-
In Canada, all orders over $40.00, free shipping via regular post.
-
In the U.S., all orders over $60.00, free shipping via regular post.
-
International, all orders over $80.00, free shipping via regular post.
Just one more way this David is competing with Goliath.
