JANE RAPHAELY unedited eBook on Kalahari.com
13 December 2012
JANE RAPHAELY unedited, the autobiography of magazine doyenne Jane Raphaely, is now available in eBook format from Kalahari.com.
Since it’s launch in June this year, JANE RAPHAELY unedited has captured the hearts of South African women, and many men. Hard copy sales have surpassed expectations and only a few copies are still available at select Exclusive Books, Pick n Pay Hypers, some independent bookstores and directly from Associated Media Publishing.
Apart from launching the book on Kalahari.com, JANE RAPHAELY unedited is now also available to Mxit users, via the FunDza bookstore on the network. Users can purchase singles chapters or the entire book.
“The eBook format is well timed for the holiday period: that's when my Kindle comes into its own." says Jane Raphaely. "We are also very happy that Jane Raphaely unedited will be available on Mxit.”
“Being connected used to mean that you were reachable. Now, being connected means that you want to share." (Mobinomics by Alan Knott-Craig and Gus Silber).
“From the moment I read that I couldn't wait to get the book onto and into this amazing network. Breaking the book up into easily digestible chunks that are very affordable means that the useful messages that are embedded in the book can reach young women who might not otherwise have been able to access them. That means a lot to me. The revenue is not the issue here. Mxit isn't a market; it's a very important place and I want the book to be in that place," adds Jane.

About JANE RAPHAELY unedited
Jane’s story is indeed stranger than fiction. Having lived through a war in England and grown up in a rough neighbourhood, with a demon aunt and a difficult father, Jane Mullins learnt how to ‘smile and wave’, one of many survival tactics she passes on in this memoir. An outsider who was determined to get ‘in’, she found fame and fortune in New York, turned down $24 000, instead followed her heart to South Africa, and moved to Cape Town shortly before the Sharpeville massacre made thousands leave a country that had become a pariah. She used her wickedly sharp pen and even sharper wits to win the best job in the world here, birthed babies, magazines, superstars, made millions for everyone except herself, and never stopped fighting against female and juvenile oppression, one of the few things that causes her to lose her characteristic cool. In this frank and funny memoir, written for the thousands of women who have asked her to tell them ‘how she did it’, the doyenne of magazine publishing tells a great deal more than the herstory of women’s magazines. This book is impossible to put down, and should come with a warning. It is intended to change women’s lives for the better and, as Jane’s story proves, print is the most powerful weapon in the world, in the right hands, at the right time. JANE RAPHAELY unedited is published by Associated Media Publishing.
