#029 ⤑ Reconnecting Over Summer
Catching up with the Soi Books team
Dear friends,
Hope you’re all enjoying the summer wherever you are :)
It’s been a few months since our last letter, and we've been keeping busy.
Running a small art book business remotely has its challenges and rewards. Balancing marketing, building our brand, and staying focused amidst distractions is something we're continually learning. So a major THANK YOU for staying with us.
We're now halfway through year two of Soi Books, and it's been a steep but rewarding learning curve. We'll be sharing more updates on our titles and inviting illustrators, photographers, and writers to get involved. We'd love to hear what you want to know about publishing. Though Soi Books is just 1.5 years old, our publishing journey started in 2007, and Stickerbomb has been a beloved brand for many years now.
Our team has also been making the most of the summer, balancing work with some well-deserved downtime. Whether it's catching some sun or getting some well needed inspiration, we're getting our head down, recharging, working through what needs to be done and getting ready for releasing more great books.
Few Updates
Remote Work Challenges: Read more about how we navigate the summer while working remotely: Remote Work at Soi Books: Navigating Summer Challenges
Stickerbomb Classics: Our Stickerbomb Classics are back in stock.
New Titles: We have some fantastic new titles available, including works by Manchester photographer Claire Wray, Indonesian publisher Grafis Nusantara, and one of our favorites, Tifo: The Art Of Football Fan Stickers.
And super exciting news - we're working on improving shipping rates to get our books to you in the US, Europe, and Asia more efficiently and cheaper!
It's not easy to pack and ship books, no-one likes to pay huge shipping rates and it’s something we’re trying to figure out. In fact a lot of publishing in general involves finding simple solutions to these logistical challenges - more on that soon.
Spotted in Makassar, Indonesia
Next Week: Getting involved in a revised edition of TIFO Football Stickers book and as well as our next range of Stickerbomb releases.
Thank you all :)
Shaz and the Soi Books team
