Why It Pays To Listen Even When You Think They?re Nuts
My first published work became a bestseller as soon as it hit the bookshelves back in 1995 and it has been topping the lists ever since. Lucky you, some might say.
By and large the content has remained unchanged (apart from essential updating) and although ten years is a fair old run, what goes up must eventually come down.
So with that in mind I approached my publishing house with a suggestion for a commemorative 10th anniversary edition; new chapters, new cover, new cosmetics, new typesetting.
They loved the idea but balked at producing a new edition per se.
"Why?" I said, "It will start the ball rolling all over again."
"No it won't," they said, "It will kill the golden goose."
And so instead the publisher opted for a reprint dressed up as a new edition: new imprint, new chapters, new cosmetics, new typesetting ? but no new cover; only a subtle color change to preserve continuity.
I thought they were nuts but they were right of course; stop supplying bookstores with a bestseller for five months and you risk consigning it to oblivion for evermore. And a block on supply there must be to allow the trade to dispose of existing stock.
That's the price you pay with every new edition.
My author copies arrived a few days ago.
I was well pleased with the new production and contacted the publishing house to express my satisfaction, intimating only mild concern over the lack of a new cover design.
"Oh, there will be a new cover," they said. "We'll incorporate that on the next reprint of the reprint ? now that the link has been maintained".
My idea was good but I hadn't thought it through.
The publisher house did.
The 4th edition of "Starting Your Own Business" (How To Books ISBN 1845280709) will be appearing in bookstores worldwide mid-April 2005.

Skin Disorders and Cosmetics
Every day, thousands of women have reactions to the make-up they use.
While this is a relatively small percentage of the population, there is cause for concern nonetheless.
For those women who cannot leave the house with wearing make-up, be sure that you are using quality products from reputable manufacturers.
Cosmetics, especially those made by less-than-scrupulous companies, can cause serious long-term problems for your skin.
One of the most common problems caused by the use of cosmetics is irritant contact dermatitis.
This is generally characterized by an intense facial itch, and an accompanying rash.
This type of skin disorder is usually caused by the use of facial cleaners, toners, and astringents.
These products are generally very acidic, and often contain alcohol.
If you find that your skin is irritated by these products, you should refrain from using them immediately.
Then make an appointment...

Natural Skin Care
You work hard to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. You know that organic foods can help you avoid ingesting nasty hormones and chemicals but did you know that these toxins are creeping into your system in other ways? Your moisturizers, eye creams, and make up may seem harmless, but check out the labels and you'll find a laundry list of tongue-twisting ingredients, many of which could be hazardous to your health. In a recent survey, conducted by Health, eighty three percent of responding consumers indicated that they would rather use all natural body products. The skin care industry is responding to this demand. The natural and organic skin care product sector has seen a growth of thirty nine percent over the last year.
Some of these products may claim to be all-natural, while still containing a slew of chemicals and toxins. Here's what you need to know about natural skin care and how to determine if the product you are using is free of harmful chemicals.Why Choose Natural...

Loft Beds
A loft bed can be termed as a bed on stilts, because it is raised off the floor a few feet. The area beneath can be used as storage space, a closet, a desk or anything else you can think of. Loft beds are commonly found in dormitories and in children's bedrooms.
A loft bed is usually made of wood and is quite easy to build. However, most loft beds are manufactured and have features like seats that can be transformed into a bed when needed.
(These are sometimes known as futons,...
