I'd say go ahead and buy it from Larry Edmunds. It will show them there is a demand for it and hopefully they'll keep stocking it after August and Cinecon in September. In the long run it will be good for it to be available in the bookstore.

I'm working with my agent to possibly submit the book (now that it's done) to Chronicle Books and/or Da Capo Press to see if they'd like to pick it up. It would be a cheaper edition, I'd stand to make a little $$ on it and it would then be available on amazon and elsewhere. Could be a good thing. Who knew this self publishing thing could be so time consuming and something of a headache?

Okay, I'm soon to be available on amazon.com with a hitch

http://www.amazon.com/Rudolph-Valent...0420649&sr=1-3

I registered with amazon advantage to list my product. Amazon demands a 55% discount on your product. I'm waiting on their first order which I hope is only a couple of copies. Then, once they've ordered and I've taken my lumps on those two sales, I can "suspend" availability of the product and I will list them myself under new/used at list price. Amazon will still get a small cut, but it won't be anywhere close to the 55% discount.

The upside is this (I hope) will increase sales or make them steady to a few copies a month. The downside is, I will have to keep some around the house tying up ready cash.

Now, if anyone who has a copy and would like to give it a review on amazon, I'd be further in your debt!
