BICS classification

according to waterstones, my first title doesn't have a BICS classification. So I went here http://www.bic.org.uk/productinfo-subjectcat.html

My BICS category is YBCH and my children's Book Marketing Category is A2M69

I've joined nielsen pubweb (this takes a few days) by going here http://www.nielsenbookdata.com/htmlDocs/PubWebRegistrationForm.doc

so in a few days I'll be able to change my bibliographical data (this takes a week to go through)

I also have a form to send off to gardners that waterstones sent me. If Gardners accept me (fingers crossed) I should be laughing. this is all weeks away though - i reckon that march may be more realistic than february to have everything in place

Borders

In order for us to stock a new title, it needs to be available via a wholesaler (e.g. Gardners or Bertrams). If your book is stocked by a wholesaler, please send a copy with an advance information sheet to:
New PressBorders Group,Stillerman House,120 Charing Cross Road,London,WC2H 0JR

i'll do this tomorrow

another wholesaler - Gardners
