SHIP MODELER'S HANDBOOK - A new publication

[kurtvd19]

The NRG is proud to announce the publication of the Ship Modeler’s Handbook.  This limited-edition special issue, published by FineScale Modeler, is a collection of articles taken from our own Nautical Research Journal and Ships in Scale Magazine, as well as two original articles found exclusively in this Handbook.  The Handbook will appeal to both new modelers and old hands.  You will recognize most of the authors’ names, some of whom, sadly, are no longer with us. 

Available now in the NRG Store

The first shipment of 100 Ship Modeler’s Handbooks sold out in less than 8 hours.  There has been an unexpected demand for this issue, and we ordered more on March 11.

The new order should arrive soon, so we have put them up for sale again.  Please remember that while they are on order, we do not have a definite delivery date.  When you place your order, we will process the sale, charging your card at that time.  An envelope will be prepared right away, and the issue will ship as soon as stock is received here.

Not surprised by the quick sales. A quick look at the articles and authors would make this look like a 'must have' addition to the library.

I ordered a copy within about 2 minutes of receiving the email notification.  That is a fantastic price for the information contained within, and will probably generate a very large number of orders.

We ordered 100 copies thinking this would be a good number if we sold them all - eventually.  We sure misjudged the appeal and have new order in for a bunch - promise to not be out of stock again - we will have a chance to see dwindling stock - 8 hours sure wasn't enough time!

Kurt, I half-wonder if there should be another clickable link under the NRG Journal (cover of the book) on the home page.  I think that could yield a fairly steady revenue stream.

Ordered a copy, any way to lower shipping in the future?  $8.50 is crazy high for mailing a magazine.

...and the United States Postal Service does such a fine job in delivering our magazines and other important mail with such speed! <Enter your own sarcastic smile/frown here.>

 

Seriously, though, my guess is that, with the NRG being a non-profit and the Handbook itself is so well priced, the $8.50 shipping charge probably also includes additional costs such as the envelope used to send, etc.  Perhaps if the 100-page Handbook was advertised for $22.49 with free shipping, it would sell just as well?
