Sorry for using your thread for the story: I was just piggy-backing a story about a self-published book success story.

John Locke is First Independently Published Author in ‘Kindle Million Club’

The story (ironically, in a printing trade magazine)

In this polarizing time, it's good to see Americans educating themselves on some of the philosophical underpinnings of the republic.

Not the same John Locke. (Which is good, since the old public domain Locke can be downloaded for free from many places.)

Well, if you look at my sig counter, we're 2 copies away form 300. Pretty fabulous results. The large scale HB edition is now in print, about 3/4 are spoken for. It's spendy but looks really nice. So I will finally own a copy!

You can see the difference in size, I'm gonna need a bigger coffee table! CP's cover art looks really nice in humungo size! :snap:

No link, must be ordered from me. It's a numbered edition. I'll PM details if you want one.

If you're on Facebook you've seen my shameless flogging (more Kevy please). I've moved Rudy into the digital age with an iBook edition for iPhone and iPad.

Significantly less expensive than the print edition and, go figure, an actual opportunity for some profit for me.

No word when blurb will get it together and list the books in the Apple iTunes store. Of course, Apple would get a cut then, too. I'm good with that, might increase some sales.

Anyway, onward to the kindle edition which will look crappy in comparison since kindle is really not designed for picture/graphic books. Also a PITA to format, or clean up the format.

Yay profit! :D
