This will be a LIMTITED EDITION Hardcover. Do we need to indicate that anywhere other than here in the Selling/Marketing points? We hope to sell through a single small-ish printing, and then do a paperback version at a later date (but not reprint the hardcover). We will simultaneously publish an e-book edition that obviously won't go out of print.
Do we need to add "Short Stories" to the book title, or "and Other Stories" -- or is the title okay as is? Our preference is to leave it as is, but we're happy to change it if it avoids confusion.
Achy Obejas is one of the leading literary Cuban-American voices, and she is influential beyond her sales figures.
