frualeydisToday 200 new books arrived, so now I can't access the book case at work ;)
On monday I will start shipping them. A large chunk will go to Handelsgillet,a swedish company that sells books, patterns, fabrics and other supplies for re-enactors, who are selling it for me. To save me trouble we have decided that I won't sell books to the general public, just to libraries, book shops and the like.

As for selling, it differs a lot. Most copies are sent out to libraries (there is one of mine in the library of congress), quite a few given to colleagues and departments of history at othar swedish universities and then finally you sell some. I sold maybe 100, which is a lot.

Date: 2006-12-02 04:47 pm (UTC)Working by yourself is common here on a dissertation. A Master's is supposed to be more of a collaborative work than a dissertation is -- it's supposed to be an original problem. Most of the natural sciences work also alone -- but the resulting papers may contribute to collaborative efforts. Generally, when you publish your work, your advisor is listed as co-author, not really because he is a collaborator in that sense, but as an acknowldegement of his guidance and assistance. My advisor works on sunflowers, for instance, I work on Trillium (it's European cousin is "Einbeere" -- I'm not sure what the Sweedisn name is.
