Barely a month after coming off the presses, and without the assistance of a national distributor or wholesaler, The Baby Web, The Directory Of Baby-Related Websites, written and published by Gretchen Nalley, is now being offered nationally by Amazon.com, the premier online bookseller.

This comes on the heels of the book being stocked by Joseph-Beth Booksellers and Hawley-Cooke Booksellers, two of the most prominent regional bookstore chains. I believe the book will be a big success on Amazon.com," Mrs. Nalley said, because everyone who shops there is computer-savvy. Plus, The Baby Web is selling very well in the book stores that have stocked it. People are discovering how unique and useful the book really is.".

When I was pregnant with my son Zachary, I searched everywhere for a book like this because it was something I could really use," she said, but almost unbelievable to me, there wasnt one already on the market." That discovery led to her writing and publishing The Baby Web, The Directory Of Baby-Related Websites. Within its 200 pages, the web addresses of almost a thousand companies are listed, along with their customer service numbers and a brief description of what each company offers. All this information is segmented into thirteen different chapters that cover subjects from Birth Announcements to breastfeeding to Books & Music to Toys. If a young mother wants to know the web address of a particular brand of clothing, wants to know more about a great new educational toy,the service number for a recalled car seat or where to find brand-name merchandise at bargain prices, The Baby Web has the answers. I spent thousands of hours researching all those websites." the author said, Thats time most young parents just dont have. By writing this book, I feel like Ive helped make parenting a little easier, and made surfing the Web childs play.

Like many new authors, Mrs. Nalley is learning that getting the word out about her book can be as time-consuming as writing it. Though working full-time as a computer systems administrator, she has already made appearances on three TV shows with plans for another. Two book signings are also scheduled, one at Hawley-Cooke booksellers in Louisville, Kentucky on April 3rd, and at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, Kentucky on April 27th.

In addition to being made available in bookstores, plans are to also offer the book directly to various baby-related markets, including infant formula manufacturers, birthing center hospitals, and obstetricians and gynecologists who might want to offer the book as a personalized premium to their customers, plus Lamaze centers, hospital gift shops, and supermarket chains.

There are a lot of companies who could use The Baby Web as a marketing tool", said the author, Its a natural for targeting young, computer-savvy, repeat parents who make purchases online."
