[Contributors Only Post] What’s so good about Christmas Is This…
If you’re a Delirium collector/reader and are seriously looking for a very rare paperback, then this post is what’s good.So I’m a little grinchy at Christmas, for the most part. It’s a little sad, a little happy, and usually a whole lot of stress. No big revelation for those of you who read Dead Santa, I’m sure.
The one good thing about running a small press and owning your own company is that I can sometimes merge storage space for the business and the household. All great until it gets time for Christmas and my wife makes me go to storage to fetch the 20 boxes of Christmas ornaments, the tree, and the lawn decorations.
But this year a Christmas miracle really did happen.
While diving in the carboard sea, I found several boxes of books directly from the printer, apparently lost from several years back. When I investigated, I discovered that 25 copies of a rare paperback were nestled inside, still shrunk-wrapped and in perfect condition.
And since this is a post that will only be viewable by readers like you who have donated so graciously to the Delirium Insider, these copies are available to you for the original cover price. I’ll even pay shipping. But please limit 1 per customer.
And before I give you a link, I’m now in the final stages of developing a new shopping cart for Delirium Books. The link I give you will go to this new shopping cart, so you will be the first customers to browse through the new storefront. But, as of tonight, the only payment method is Paypal, as this shopping cart will not go public until I’ve finished configurations. Please keep this new shopping cart link a secret, as it’s not ready for traffic just yet.
But it’s set to take Paypal transactions now, so check out the featured title via the link below.
Happy Holidays!
P.S. Any feedback about the new storefront would be appreciated!

I went to my storage and only found spiders.
I like the look of the storefront. It was pretty easy to place an order.
Comment by NickRocks on 9 December 2006:
Nice new store. I like the order history. Now, I can double check when I’ve ordered something…

Wow!! Cheers, man. That’s a great surprise. And I just dragged up 15 boxes of Christmas stuff and the tree last week. I feel your pain. I guess I should give the wife credit, the house does look nice, but today she told me she bought a bunch of wreaths I get to hang outside from each window. Yippee!!!
And the new storefront is fantastic. Very easy and pleasing to the eye. Nicely done.
Thanks again for this Insider I’m sure it’s been quite a bit of work. The Big Lizard will look past a couple of your sins for it. :P.
Cheers, Mark

Outstanding. Thanks Shane.
Comment by dezm on 9 December 2006:
Can we register in the storefront now or should we wait til it goes live? It looks good. Only thing I noticed was no images DB images under the hc subs, etc. Ordering wise, it was pretty easy understandable.

Thanks Shane! Ordered a copy, right away, very cool.
I like the fact that our information may be saved so we do not have to type in our billing and shipping information for every transaction.

I’m out of town but small opportunity to get on line. On this older computer I can’t order. ‘Can’t connect to server’ messages. Java too old I guess. I like the store layout Shane. I’ll order somehting from home tonight and give more feedback.
