Amazon Discount & Other Sales

The gorilla finally gave Treasure the discount. I don't know what brought it about. I only sent them one snarky note about the procedure to get the cover image on the listing - which they forwarded to Ingram... Maybe that brought the matter to the attention of the right people though. Thank you to the 100+ people who bought it at full price. I wish that hadn't happened that way for your sake.

For all of you who have bought it - in whatever form - and read it already, please remember to leave reviews on Amazon. Even if people don't buy the book there, it will help the book overall to have more reviews.

I have succeeded in mailing the first batch of direct orders out - all over the world: France, New Zealand, Australia, and England - with one box taking a multi-stop trip to eventually reach Saudi Arabia :). Thank you for being lab rats for my e-commerce. In the final mailing process, I discovered that the price I was quoted by real human beings for the overseas shipping was correct, while the price I was quoted by machines for some of the domestic packages was too high. So I will be talking to the people who ordered domestically about that in individual e-mails, and adjusting the S&H amount on the site. Thank you for your patience.
