A busy two weeks here at the AIC. The Podcast Homily for Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity in our Psalter Series of Morning Prayer homilies was uploaded earlier today and is now live on the Podcast Homilies-Morning Prayer and Welcome pages. The Podcast Homily for Sunday Next before Advent will be uploaded early next week. The Welcome page to the AIC Web Site will be adjusted to reflect the start of Advent season after Thanksgiving.
I have completed updates to 21 of 22 books in the AIC Bookstore library and have begun sending the updates to our publisher. Further, I have sent the text and cover for the 22nd of 22 books, Angels: In Scripture, Art & Christian Tradition, to our publisher. I expect to get the proof on Friday, 11/17. The finished version will have 152 illustrations on 252 page. The proof copy is expected to arrive today with proof copies of seven additional books expected to arrive on Thursday and Friday. The Angels book, is still missing one high-resolution image from the British Library. A medium resolution image is in place in the proof copy.
In the updating process, I have made a number of design and content changes to each book intended to harmonize the style across all 22 volumes and also include the most recent information about every book. Also being introduced into the Library are cross-references to Other AIC Bookstore Publications. These new editions will begin to be introduced after Thanksgiving, with the goal of completing the updates before the end of January A.D. 2024. With the completion of the updates, the AIC Bookstore Publications library will be complete in 22 volumes. These will remain unchanged thereafter, unless there is a need for a major change or correction.
All 22 books will be reviewed one final time before being approved for distribution. Our publisher raised the printing prices of all books last month. Most of the effect of higher prices is on those books printed in color. So far, only one book, Revelation: An Idealist Interpretation, will have a retail price increase. I still do not know if adjustments will have to be made to the remaining five books in the Christian Education Studies: New Testament series. The effect o the increased printing cost remains unknown until after the revisions to each volume is submitted for publication. Our objective remains keeping the retail costs as low as we can.
After January, my full attention will be re-directed to making several important web site changes, mostly to reflect the actual content of the Bookstore, to my Amazon Author Central page and additional postings to the Fr. Ron’s Blog page. Now that the AIC will no longer be carrying the cost of acquiring images for books, the focus can shift to advertising strategies for both the Web Site and the AIC Bookstore. If all goes according to plan, there will be additions to some of our Video Series, especially The War on Christianity, and related Podcasts.
As always, I thank you for your interest in the AIC Web Site and Bookstore Publications. You can help by sharing links with others and by “Following” the AiC web site and the Fr. Ron’s Blog page. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
