Search Inside The Book
If you click at the Amazon link at the top of this page, you will see that The Book is now part of the “Search Inside” feature of Amazon. As long as you have an Amazon account, you can search through The Book, without even buying it! So, for any of you stragglers wondering about it, but did not want to buy it, you should be able to read several dozen pages from your computer.
As usual, even if you do not intend to buy The Book, make all your Amazon purchases via the link at the top of this page. We get a small referral fee directly from Amazon for any Amazon purchase you make via that link (at no cost to you). We don’t make much, just enough to cover our annual expenses.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for your support. The Book is still the #2 baseball book in their stats category. And this is against super heavyweights like ESPN/Palmer, Bill James, and Baseball Prospectus. And, we have no promotional muscle to speak of. We’re like My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
What does it cost me to give a small referral fee from my Amazon.com purchases? Do I end up paying higher prices to Amazon or not receiving the same specials and discounts? Or is it really no cost to me (other than remembering to visit your website first and then clicking on the Amazon.com logo)?
