We now have up-to-date sales figures
to the end of March. Please see the
#raph to the nght.

The book sales in the Gallery of BC
Ceramics were very close to target in
April, selling 24 of the targeted 25
retail copies, and exceeding our whole-
sale target with 16 copies sold. Doug-
las and McIntyre sold 63 copies in
March, but we have not received their
report for April. While book sales were
slower than hoped at the Made OF
Clay exhibition and sale, 12 copies
were sold, with an additional 10 copies
purchased at wholesale; these figures
of course will be included in the sales
for May.

We are about to receive the first pay-
ment from Douglas & McIntyre forthe
283 books they sold December through
February. At the same time, the Guild
will send Douglas & McIntyre the
final payment for printing. The net

April does not include sales from Douglas & Mcintyre

effect will be a payment of just under
$10,000 bringing our line of credit to
about $20,000, towards which all fu-
ture sales will be funneled.

Marketing of the book is an ongoing
process. Recently Linda Doherty initi-

ated plans forthe book to be canned by
a distributor in the United States, an
untapped market. More details will be
forthcoming.
