The Book Cover is ready for prime time, and pre-sales have started for the “True North Cabin Cookbook Volume 2” You can pre-order your book here.
Pre-orders of a cookbook are so important! What happens when you pre-order is all those day-one sales count towards the total books sold the first day the book “releases,” in my case, 9/2. All those pre-orders count toward your launch on “Best Seller” lists, which helps the book get seen and leads to more orders.
