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!

Amazon!

Alice on Amazon

Alice Through the Proscenium is now available on Amazon.

(Preview pages etc. to come there... once I figure out how to do that.)  Check out this cool-o-tude!  

Then go buy direct from Lulu.com where the author gets a bigger cut, huh?  

Still, it's exciting to know that any casual book-buyer in the world could just accidentally, while skipping through - what is it? a gadjillion books? Let's figure this out: 150,000 books sold per day x 365 = 54 million books sold a year...  But that means multiple copies of, say, Stephen King's latest and 0 of Aunt Fanny's memoir, so... a gadjillion on their virtual shelves.  An easy gadjillion.)  But  the point is, a casual reader could wander through these LOTS O' BOOKS anyway and fall in love with mine.

Cool.
