I published Cites & Insights for just over 19 years, from December 2000 to December 2019. Starting in 2006, I offered paperback annual volumes through Lulu. (I wanted the bound volumes myself–I had Velobound volumes 1-5, and am actually starting to read them, an effort I may or may not ever finish!). A very few copies were sold. That is not surprising.
They’re still available at Lulu.com, most of them $20 or $35. I haven’t sold a copy in almost five years.
While Lulu.com still doesn’t charge for inactive books, I’d like to clean things up a little. Therefore:
Unless some Cites & Insights annuals are sold by December 15, 2025, I plan to delete the books at that point,
I don’t imagine anyone will care, but there it is. Unlike some prolific authors in the library field, I have no plans to turn over my archives to a library school–after all, I’m not a professional librarian. (I don’t really have “archives” as such–while I do have copies of all the books and C&I annuals I’ve published, for now, I tore my articles out and discarded most of the journals they’d appeared in: too much space! More will probably go fairly soon..
Anyway: there it is. If for some reason you want C&I annuals (there’s some decent stuff there), you have until mid-December to act,
