Max set up the Amazon deal, so I don't know what their share is. I added my comment to ditto what weebray posted. After Max set it up, I went back and
changed and added some images of the book and contents.
I also wanted to add what was in the book and the only way I could figure out how to do that was to review it myself. I didn't use a ghost name but my
own mtgoat666, so no mischief intended.
Igor, there is so little money earned from writing guidebooks or history books in most cases, one must promote it whenever possible. Have you seen the
Holiday Special for this year http://oldmissions.com ? LOL Not available on Amazon or any other distributor, only from the publisher. Oh, and we publish our own book because of
the tiny percentage publishers give back to authors. Sunbelt had published Max's El Camino Real and its Bells book and they were the ones we intended
to use, but this was too much work to only make a buck a book on.
I am happy that the book is still selling after two years, but it is our promoting and live updates on our Facebook page http://facebook.com/oldmissions and our PowerPoint mission lectures that are keeping it of interest. It's not just a Baja book but a California
(Old and New/ Lower and Upper) book covering Spanish and Mexican California. The truth must be told!

Which is why I self-published. Lots of work, but worth it.

Several years ago I made a purchase from Amazon. When the package arrived the box was empty!?!  ......Just took an email and they corrected their mistake.

Regarding annoying ads - this comes up every so often, but the easiest and cheapest way to eradicate annoying ads is to install AdBlock Plus. The
developer asks only for a $30 donation if you're so inclined. If you're cheap, it's free.

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.
