the Order of Slimy Tentacles is the first official Grotto and it has a special purpose... spreading the word of Cthulhu Cult, our bible.
this Grotto is for anyone who wishes to receive a bulk order of Cthulhu Cult books to sell on their own.
this is how it works: someone wants to order many copies of Cthulhu Cult (minimum of 30, maximum of 100). first they mail me a money order for a discounted price which is $12 a book (no shipping cost inside the US, $10 outside the US).
those of the Order will receive their bulk shipment and disperse the books as they see fit... selling it to friends, co-workers, schoolmates, given as gifts, through their own web presence, ebay, door to door, or any method they can think of.
whatever profit is made, the seller gets to keep. for example, let's say a person on this forum wants to buy the minimum number of bulk ordered books (30). first, that person sends me a money order for $360 (or $370 outside the US). then, he sells the books over a few months for $18 each. This creates $6 of profit per book sold. He gets to keep that money for himself, a total of $180 for all his trouble. also, bulk Cthulhu Cult orders can be re-filled as often as you'd like.
in addition to helping spread the Old Ones' lore and making a bit of cash, he (or she, of course) is officially accepted into the Cult of Cthulhu. as soon as he pays for the books and fills out an application, he's considered a member of the first inner order, a Herald of the Old Gods. that's right, the usual $50 lifetime membership contribution is waived.
if anyone has a question, comment, or suggestion regarding the Order of Slimy Tentacles, then please post it here.

here is the Lulu link: www.lulu.com/content/606582
and Cthulhu Cult can also be found on amazon.com
i would order a bunch and then make the order for your address. Lulu hasn't screwed up an order for me yet, so i don't see much risk invovled.
and now that Lulu forced their own price up to almost $25 (the same as amazon), a larger profit margin is possible. for instance instead of $18, you could sell them for $22 a piece.
let me know if you have more questions...

If I owned a hotel, I would make sure a copy of Cthulhu Cult was in every room in place of a bible...

I may be missing something here but if you ordered 30 books and sold each for $18 etc. and would only make $6 profit, where is the other $12 going? I would think if you sold each book for $18 then you would get $18 dollars unless theres some tax thing involved?
Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtagn!

I believe the $12 goes to me in order to purchase the books initially. But I haven't read that post in years because it appears to be too impractical. Anyways, I'm preparing a revised and expanded edition of Cthulhu Cult. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a real publisher for it.

That makes more sense but if the individual would already have payed you the $360/370 then what ever they sold the book for would be their profit unless your asking for a small amount to be given back to you, Lord Satanis, or the Cult. Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtagn!

You buy the books for $12 a piece. You sell them for $18 a piece. Your profit is $6 from each book sold.

A well crafted hard cover would be excellent. with a fancy leather cover and the cloth bookmark attached to the spine.
Also are your planning a revision of Liber A:O?
