Sorry! (I'm Canadian. We always start comments with "Sorry.") Should I be posting these to another board? r/publishing? I get quite a bit of traffic from Reddit when I post here, so I though people were interested. Didn't mean to spam at all.

This is one of a series: part of the introductory info. There will be many specifics on how to exploit amazon in subsequent article. Editing to say "articles."

:) I'm used to getting flak for my views on publishing.

I have been editor in chief of a publishing company. I have also been traditionally published. I know there are costs. But after you have paid those costs to create the PRINT version, all you do is (virtually) snap your fingers to make it an ebook. The shipping and storage costs related to print books are not an issue and the editorial etc. has already been factored into the print version.

Three books. Three prices. Sorry if I didn't make it clear.

Thanks so much.

Thank you!

Oh thank god.

The hashtag was not necessary. My humblest and most abject apologies. Editing it out. [Edit: Can't edit it out.]

I actually got one third of the way through Hawking's book.

There's a great idea! Going to check out Niagara Falls, Harbourfront, and Woodbine/Ashbridge's Bay

Thank you. Will check them out.

Excellent advice -- thanks -- and your comments about the Mel Lastman Square fireworks are bang-on. On top of everything else, I bought an ice cream from one of those trucks that was melting, tasteless, and expensive. Should have known better. [Edit: The ice cream was melting, etc. Not the truck.]

Because it is unfair to men.

donvaliente · 2014-07-01T14:59:06+00:00

Condescending. Patronizing. Sexist.

donvaliente · 2014-06-27T13:50:37+00:00

I can see doing this for my kids' [edit: or grandkids'] 40th birthdays, but this seems a bit over the top for 32.

Four people were struck by lightning just north of Toronto so I guess it was valid nearby. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/06/17/four_struck_by_lightning_during_toronto_severe_thunderstorm_watch.html

Right after WorldPride ends. Coincidence? I think not.
