We (mostly Dave) are working away on the shelves that will house all the wonderful books Mackerel Sky will have to offer!
I'm also working on my initial store order with Ingram Books, the supplier of choice!
In the pipeline is a decision on Mackerel Sky's POS (point of sale) software. In other words, how I'm going to keep all the inventory under control!
My 'Reader's Survey' left about town in the Hamlet of Honeoye Lake has been a great help with the initial store order. I plan to keep on using it, with modifications of course, to help make sure Mackerel Sky's customers have a continual voice and choice on the books and other items offered for sale.
Remember, you can always see loads of gifty-type stuff at www.macksky.com, follow us on Twitter and/or on Facebook!

The news is out....
Mackerel Sky, Books & More will become a brick and mortar store in April, 2010! New and used books, gifts, handcrafted items and installations from local artists. Right now, the shop is under construction. I will post pictures as the re-model continues, the first will be up as soon as I can figure out how to post pictures on here!
Needless to say, excitement reigns supreme. Lumber is cut, drilled, getting stained, varnished and built into gorgeous bookselves by Dave (with a tad bit of help from me, and when I say 'tad', it really does mean a very small, almost non-existent amount). Paperwork is being completed and sent to the appropriate outlets daily, connections connecting, networking working ... step by step.
I'll keep you informed as the plan comes together.
OK, no place to post a bunch o'pictures here... check it all out on facebook: Mackerel Sky
