the first books are about to be removed



 After a few discussions I think that I have settled on a plane regarding Black Tower Comics and Books.

Firstly an online store that has been up and running since 2009 and has around 200 titles covering all genres and subject -comics, comic albums, Graphic novels as well as magazines and books on "world mysteries" should be selling product. I know people hate me calling my books, published to sell, "product". Why? I am not going to call them my "babies"!

Views of posts on the books total over 4 million themselves and CBO has a truly world wide audience and books ordered online are printed and priced and posted in the region they are ordered from. No expensive international mail charges.

Money to be paid to me currently from sales is...15p (15c) and I have no idea where that came from. I have watched and talked to the publishers who have quit so I learn a lot.

What I intend to do, and this should be completed by the end of 2023 (I have a lot of work to get out of the way) is purchase 50 copies of each book and once I have those the book will disappear from the online store permanently. After that the books will be sold via Ebay or through ordering direct from me by mail (I think I am opting for the latter but Ebay can make me a bigger profit). No international orders accepted just UK and once the books are sold they are done with. 

At the moment I am going over the fine details -it's been pointed out to me that on Ebay I can set a price and people bid from there.  The idea is to make the maximum profit because I have bills to pay and my health ain't that great any more.

It's taken a lot of thinking but if no one orders from the store what is the point of having a store?  I will start ordering copies of books in a couple o0f weeks so if anyone checks the online store they will see books gradually vanish. Hey -whoever buys knows they have a limited issue book.

Once the first books are about to be removed I'll post an update.
