Review of the McBooks "Customer Choice Trial"
—We are expanding to serve you better. . .
A Message from Alex Skutt, McBooks Press, Inc., Publisher
McBooks Press is a book publisher plus a catalog and Internet retailer of historical fiction books. We are always exploring new avenues of book retailing and ways to improve customer service. To help us optimize your future book-buying experiences, we recently ran a two-week "Customer Choice Trial." During the trial, we offered our website visitors the option of purchasing from Amazon.com or from our own online bookstore at McBooks.com.
As an additional aspect of the trial, we also invited our Quarterdeck newsletter readers to email comments and suggestions to us.
What Did We Learn?
Although we know that some readers prefer to shop at Amazon.com, we were pleased with the number of customers who voiced a strong preference by asking us to continue providing our unique bookstore services. Here is one comment that says it all: "I love the fact that I don't have to sift through Amazon.com for my relatively narrow band of interest. Please don't change your wonderful web service. . ." —E.M.
To remain a competitive bookstore choice for you, we are now increasing our book selections (U.S. and U.K.) and expanding our valuable services to help readers navigate the array of books published in the Historical Fiction genre. Our 2009 catalog will be the biggest ever, featuring fiction from more historical time periods and sub genres. From 12th-century wise women investigating mysterious deaths, to 19th-century mountainmen fighting for survival and WWII detectives sniffing out espionage, you'll find new stories to peak your interest and keep you reading!

Greetings, I am pleased to see that you are building on Historical Fiction Books. I am David Castle - author of 'The Adventures of Michael Fane' If you search Google for 'New Historical Fiction Books' or 'Judge George Jeffreys' and around a further 100 keyword combinations you will find Michael Fane's weblog all over Google. You may add the title to your list of publications.
