Dear Colldv-l,
Some of your listers have been conscientiously helpful:
Thanks to all those who took trouble to reply to my enquiry about
on-line catalogues and the etiquette of using emails and attachments
to send them.
Three main points emerge.
First to try not to send catalogues to the "wrong " person, people
not already primed or ready to receive them .this can well case
annoyance and be counter productive!
The second was to try to track down the "right " person. This seems
obvious, but several of you made the point that the number of people
involved in selecting books is relatively few.
The third was a connfimation of my original position; that success in
trying to sell unusual books depends on striking up a personal
relationship with certain people and working with them. There is no
short cut to find these.
I have had only one suggestion about Directories;/ Mailing Lists,
though several make the point that most people guard their email
addresses to ward of the kind of "spam" I am plotting; though if
anyone would like to see the kind of amterial I was offering in my
attachment cataoglue plesase let me know at david.batterham_at_virgin.net
Thanks, David Batterham, London, U.K.
