Breaking News- Branded Tape

Currently we are working on some branded packaging tape for www.doodledbooks.com . This is a very exciting development and we are looking forward to the finished design.

Only 10 Rare Books in the World - James Bond meets the Da Vinci Code in this Debut

Hope you had a fantastic day. Today you can order a real page turner called The Best of Men by Claire Letemendia. This is her debut book and it was ten years in the making. Beaumont her lead character is the James Bond of his time and this period piece is thrilling. The social and political detail are fascinating and the cipher theme has a historical echo of the Da Vinci Code. The book is intricate and detailed and has a huge cast list, but the writing is sharp and teleports the reader right back to 1642. As historical novels go, this is awesome and you really get to care about the characters, even some of the villains.

This book is highly recommended and some critics are comparing her work to CJ Sansom and Iain Pears. The UKs leading bookstore Waterstones voted The Best of Men as the New Talent Book of the Month.

Doodled Books has just 4 ultra rare signed, lined and doodled books for you to order - the rest sold out on pre-orders. See this link for more details http://www.doodledbooks.com/the-best-of-men-by-claire-letemendia-1652-c.asp

This really is a gargantuan feast fit for a king so start your collection now!

SEO - Search Engine Optimisation

Are you always wondering how to increase the number of hits to your website? Do you constantly look at your Google Ranking? Well there are plenty of companies offering SEO (search engine optimisation) but some have bad reputations. Does anyone know of a good one? I always thought the way to get to the top was by content and this takes years.

Sold Out - Collectable Books

All the rare books sold out of Katie Cleminsons Box of Tricks. We may get more for our book collectors in the future. More exciting new titles will be on the website soon.

Collecting Books - Katie Cleminson

Ever wished you had the chance to buy a Beatrix Potter book before she became a Worldwide phenomenon? Well a remarkable début illustrator called Katie Cleminson has created a brilliant new book called Box of Tricks. This book was showcased early in 2009 at the Bologna Book Fair and her RHCB acting rights director Maeve Banham said “We are particularly excited about this year’s Bologna in light of the début illustrators whose work we are bringing to the fair for the first time, who we are confident will become established names.” Since then the book has been published in the UK and a second book has just been scheduled for May 2010. So already Katie is proving to be a hit in the childrens book scene.

Recently we have had some really rare books for our book collectors by Katie Cleminson on our website that sold out in a few hours.

See this link for more details http://www.doodledbooks.com/box-of-tricks-by-katie-cleminson-1614-c.asp as we have just got some new books in stock.

So if you enjoy book collecting this definitely one to watch!
