Several people have asked whether the book will be available through Amazon.
Sorry, but no.
And here are some of the reasons:
Publishers who list their books with Amazon must agree to three conditions:
1. Amazon pays the publisher 45% of the cover price, and does not pay it up front but waits until the end of the month following the month in which the item was sold.
2. The publisher must accept returns.
That is, whenever Amazon has too many copies, or copies that have been returned by their customers,
Amazon returns them to the publisher and immediately claims a credit.
If the books arrive back at the publisher in poor condition and cannot be resold, that is the publisher's problem.
3. The publisher pays for all shipping.
Both to Amazon and for returns.
If Amazon lets its stock run low and needs a rush order, the publisher pays for priority shipping.
At $49.95, with payment through PayPal from the book's web site, there is a reasonable profit on each book.
At $22.48 less shipping costs and returns, the financial return would be negative.
The book would need a cover price near $100.00 for Amazon to be attractive.
