First off, I apologize for crossposting this e-mail. At the request of
my editor, I'd like to ask you guys to please answer some questions for
me about Ferrets for Dummies..........either privately of on the list.
Thanks. Secondly, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. It's
been a very tough year for many people, myself included. I'm ready for a
positive change (crossing fingers). And finally, warm thoughts for the
sick fuzzies and their families, and sincere condolences to those who have
lost fuzzies recently. Having said all that.....
1. If you own the book, are you living outside of the U.S.?
2. If yes to above, where do you live and was it difficult to obtain the
book?
3. What would you like to see added/deleted/changed to the book if a second
edition comes out?
4. Has the book been helpful to you and, if so, why?
5. Favorite chapter? Why?
6. Least favorite chapter? Why?
7. Is the book easy to understand?
8. Is it too long or too short?
9. Would you recommend it to other ferret owners or potential owners?
10. Where did you purchase the book?
11. If you're a ferret supply store or shelter, have you attempted to
purchase quantities of the book directly from the company (IDG) in
order to resell?
12. If yes to above, did you run into difficulty opening an account and
getting your needs met to purchase the books?
13. As a marketing aid for Ferrets for Dummies, how many of you would be
willing to ask a bookstore or pet supply store to carry the book if
you happened to go in and find out they don't carry it?
14. Do you think you got your money's worth with Ferrets for Dummies?
15. Listed in the back are books, magazines and other ferret resources.
What do you think could be added or removed and why?
Ok, I think I hit all the main points he wanted to cover. Again, I
apologize for boring you and especially the crossposting <yawn>. Thanks
for your participation and feel free to add other input.
