Another title just uploaded. This is from the same era as Paley's Natural Theology and similar science/theology books, but includes discussion from both nature and direct revelation regarding man, angels, and God's plan for redemption. Brodie was a Scott minister with the Bow of Fife Free Church, and is very readable. I was pleasantly surprised when I first came across it. I think this is the very first reprint of the title since it's initial publication in 1855.Labels: book, cover, faith and science, reprint
I've just uploaded this title to the printer. There are a few other publishers reprinting this book, also -- one came out in September -- but my edition will be a fair bit less expensive. I'm also going to test the 55% discount, which may open up some direct brick-and-mortar bookstore sales, and should put up a decent discount on the online bookstore list prices.Labels: book, cryptozoology

Admittedly, I haven't done much marketing of the title, so it probably could have done better, faster, if I was focused on direct sales and did a lot more advertising.
Interestingly, (to me), this title is apparently being used in a course this fall at a Michigan college. The bookstore contacted me for details, I pointed them to Ingrams, and they ordered 18 copies earlier this week. They didn't offer details, so I am uncertain if the course is actually about cryptozoology or not.
