RE: Book signing event
LOCATION: 2nd & Charles (Front Range Shopping Center)
DATE: November 9, 2019 (Saturday)
TIME: 2 – 4 pm
This is my 2nd book-signing event at the 2nd & Charles. It is in the Front Range shopping center on Corbett Drive, directly across the parking lot from DSW Shoes
Four of my books will be featured:
1. Chinese Healing Foods & Herbs (1984) – home remedies based on about 50 commonly used Chinese herbs, 192 pages ($10)
2. Better Health With (Mostly) Chinese Herbs & Foods (1995) – describes 60 commonly used herbs, 105 pages ($10)
3. The Life of a Pharmacognosist, a Jack of All Trades (2018) – my memoir from childhood to adulthood, with some key accomplishments, 213 pages ($12, listed $16)
4. My Life & Rollercoaster Career (2018) – memoir + my newsletter (1996-2004), republished in a single volume, 550 pages (see attachment) ($20, listed $26)
5. E-version of My Life & Rollercoaster Career ($5.49) – not at book-signing, only available directly from Amazon.com. I recommend this one because you can search any topic in the book.
Previously, when Wiley published my “Encyclopedia of Common Natural Ingredients used in Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics” in 1980, it did all the publicity and marketing, and I never have had to try to sell it. It became one of Wiley’s best sellers, and is now in its 3rd Revision, renamed “Leung’s Encyclopedia of Common…” published in 2010. Now, in the non-technical media, it’s is a totally different experience. It mostly depends on whom you know. Trump and Clinton had their co-‘authors’ or ghost writers and their books became instant best-sellers. Although I am well known in the herbal and associated industries, I have no general-media presence. So I have started to blog: www.ayslcorp.com/blog and being recently active on LinkediIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-leung-9b933913. I am confident my message, as stated on the back cover of my last book, will eventually get across.
I hope you can make it Saturday (Nov. 9), or at least drop by to check things out. I need all the help I can get to spread my message about herbs and drugs to the general public. It’s more for our grandchildren and beyond.
Thank you all,
Al
