most of them were bought by the professor or students of, he has it on a reading list in his class. I wish my book would become a textbook for psychosis…I think that is what the professor is trying to do. ---

Congratulations! It’s really rare to get a book published. I think it’s around 15 years since i had my last book published, but i’m working on a new one at the moment. When it’s done i send it to a publisher and most likely get a rejection. But you never know. ---

it’s sold actually about 750 from the start of sales now that I think of it…four years aren’t included of the sales shown now on my author account. the book was self published in 2005. I made back my investment basically for self publishing…yeah it’s not much but I’m still proud. ---

Why dont you release a digital version of the book free to read, and link to it. I’d like to take a glance at it. ---

i think my publisher might drop me if I did something like that…on the old sz forum the first thirty pages of my book were in the sz success stories section…my book was available on kindle a while but my publisher stopped sales on kindle…discontinued it anyways. ---

Still might be a good decision… do you need a publisher if youre going to free digital copies? ---
