Once Upon a Time at Powell’s Books: A Fairy Tale in Pictures
Once upon a time, Powell’s Books had no copies of Word Up! on its shelves. One day (yesterday to be exact), they bought three copies.
Today, Powell’s has no copies of Word Up! on its shelves. The End.

That’s totally awesome! Those books are flying off the shelves–both the physical and virtual ones–like hotcakes!
Loving every minute of it, Danielle. Whee! (The virtual books are, in fact, available to order, at least on Amazon–and people will get the books right away–but a software glitch makes it appear otherwise. We’re working madly to get that resolved.)
What a WONDERFUL day for a brand-new author!
Congratulations!
Yes, it is. The author is savoring it all. Thanks.
This was a very fun fairy tale! I loved the ending.
Thanks, Wendy. Who doesn’t love a happy ending?
Happy to be one of the three lucky ones who got their copy that day!
Congrats Marcia! May all the others fly off the shelves as well…
🙂
I’m happy that you got one, too, Susan. Thanks for your note.
Nice! But did they buy more?
Yep. Five more. Yesterday they were down to the last copy: time to restock again. Thanks for sharing the joy, Jen.
