As I posted here recently, I'm using Amazon's CreateSpace subsidiary to offer some of my self-published ebooks as print-on-demand paperbacks. The first two titles are the short story collections
9 Tales of Henghis Hapthorn and
The Meaning of Luff and Other Stories.
They're now available from Amazon and directly from CreateSpace's estore. Through the wizardry of my excellent webmaster, Bradley W. Schenck, if you go to the new
paperbacks section in the bookstore on my website, the listed titles will appear. If you then click "add to cart," you'll be taken directly to CreateSpace's estore (they pay me a higher royalty than does Amazon).
Most amazing to me, though, is that recent changes in the book distribution industry mean that you could also walk into any brick-and-mortar bookstore in North America or Europe, order the titles, and they'll come in just like any other published book. Plus your bookseller will make a little.
I like booksellers. Anything that keeps them in business is all right with me.
