In addition periodic discounts can be found from the printer, Lulu.com, which, unlike other promotions from other sellers, can be added to the already discounted price offered by Truckman Publishing...Sometimes these discounts can include shipping, and buyers are encouraged to look for these bargains, and add the appropriate discount code to an order...These discount offers are not passed on by Amazon...It might be further noted that in Truckman's experience "express shipping" is seldom any faster than the "standard shipping" through the US Postal Service, the bulk of which transit is accomplished by Federal Express anyway...Amazon also does not offer the far less profitable paperback editions available from Truckman...We wish Jeff Bezos continued success in his Amazon business, but want cost-conscious readers to always be aware of the otherwise hidden costs, and the available bargains offered to those who make the effort to look...
In other business decisions, the fine and well intentioned Facebook group, USS APc-1 WWII, dedicated to preserving the memory of the brave veterans of service aboard the US Navy's Small Coastal Transports during the Pacific War, will now continue to preserve the memories of those troubled times without the direct contributions of Truckman...The narrow-minded petty decision of Mark Zuckerberg to stifle the posts offered by Truckman to this worthy group through his still unexplained deletions of Truckman's posts has brought Truckman to the reluctant choice of resigning from Facebook...USS APc-1 WWII's administrator, Neal Ash, continues his efforts to bring awareness of this "forgotten fleet" to the public, and any new information gleaned from the research of Truckman's hardworking staff will continue to be passed along to Neal, who will certainly post these items for his Facebook readers...A link to the Facebook group will continue to be available to readers here as the "Applecart Link" button under the banner at the top of each page on this blog...
Added in edit: It should be said here in the interest of transparency that Truckman does indeed receive a royalty payment on each copy of his books which are sold, whether that sale takes place on his own site or the various reseller sites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ingram or any of the other book sales outlets...However the amounts of those royalties vary greatly...The amount received by Truckman when a reader purchases from the resellers is approximately one-third of the amount received when the reader purchases from Truckman's site at a reduced price...A simple math equation should reveal where the most profit lies, the author who researched and wrote the book and sells for less, or the book outlet which sells the same product for more money...
