Amazing Amazon

There is all sorts of weird and wonderful functionality over at my Alice Through the Proscenium Amazon page: annotated pictures and a (quite random) skim through the pages.  But you still get a better look at Lulu.com and a slightly different view at Barnes & Noble.

This self-publishing process is kind of fascinating... I'm beginning to think publishers may (just may) earn some of their money.  Certainly there are a lot of small but important jobs in getting a book out into the world.  I'm glad this is a book with a clearcut - though tiny! - audience, so it's easy to see who needs to hear about it.  And non-fiction so it has a real use, somewhere some real problem to solve.

Just imagine trying to launch a novel!
