It has been quite some time since I printed labels and cannot find the links to the ones by members...didn't they used to be under the 'official' labels?

What ages does your book appeal to? Why not register a few copies and either wild release or offer them here? It might be a good way to get the book circulating and create a bit of a buzz.
