Ivory soap slogan "99-44/100% Pure" was cleverly invented by Harley Proctor who with the help of chemists determined that Ivory soap was only 56/100 pure. Proctor simply subtracted 56 from 100 and came up with "99-44/100% Pure"

A book cover, hand coloured in warm purples and blues. The book is the front of a house, with two rows of three windows above an empty storefront. The windows depict silhouettes, left to right, top to bottom: a vampire hanging upside down, a man tasting his cooking from a pot, a boarded up window with sparkly ooze seeping through, a demon holding a fire ball, a mysterious figure peeking from behind a red curtain, a werewolf in wolf form reading a book. Warm orange light spills from most windows. A man dressed in black, wearing a hat anda bright red scarf, is doing his best to look suave and mysterious, leaning against the front door. The title is in warm orange and yellow, splayed across the store front.

A pleasantly round and soft-looking ivory carving of a very fat cat, yellowed with age. It is curled into an upright sleeping position, its front paws are barely visible, neatly tucked under its chin.

The meaning of life is messing around. So throw that book you wrote up on KDP. Yeah, with your canva cover with stock footage and everything. And the free version of grammarly as your editor. Do it. DO IT. The haters make you stronger. #writingcommunity #authors

Question for the other #authors on bksy - for those of you with foreign sales, what do you do with your author copies? It seems a shame to have them sitting on my shelf. Normally I give them away, but I'm not sure how in different languages. How do you find homes for your extra books?
