Frequently Asked Questions

There’s a couple of ways to get a discount! One is to order in bulk directly from me. Depending on volume and where you’re at, maybe something can be worked out. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to discuss if you’re ordering less than a certain number of copies. The reason being, I cannot get any discount below a certain volume to pass on to you. All the book shops have a direct link with Amazon that I cannot match for small volumes of books.

The second way you would have a discount is if you were a part of the review process, and had considerable material feedback that impacted the book in a positive way. I give the organization you belong to highly discounted copies. The reviewers do get free copies as a token of gratitude.

When Createspace Existed (before it was fully integrated by Amazon), They had the ability to provide coupon codes if buying 10-50 copies. Unfortunately, Amazon has taken that feature away and instead prefers direct sales on their website.

For a small number of copies: My hands are tied.

Note that Amazon takes ~50% of the book cost to manage logistics including distribution. The US Government taxes the remaining proceeds at 35%. You can do the math and see that there’s not a whole lot left to pay for all the investments I made and causes I support.

I have checked all the book updates into Github. Corrected PDF for the relevant chapters have also been placed there.

Thanks. if you could send me an email with the specifics, I would appreciate it. If something is wrong, and I wind up making changes, I’ll acknowledge your contribution.

Not that I know of, because I never got around to releasing one due to technical issues. See this link: https://uvmbook.com/e-book-editions/.

NOTE: There are any number of site-bots which are mining this website and presenting the PDF files from the site as actual e-books and trying to get your personal and credit card information. Please do not get fooled by them.

See https://uvmbook.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/important_note.pdf which will tell you what happens to the proceeds after I pay for everything.

Note that I work on a Macintosh platform, and basically, nothing is cheap on that platform. I had so many problems with the rendered PDF on PC’s not embedding fonts correctly etc causing them to be rejected. These all disappeared once I moved the publishing flow to a Mac.

I typically invite reviewers based on their expertise during the pre-publishing process for the books.

Whenever there is a new edition planned, We can explore this further. I typically look at the feedback given on current books and reviewer expertise while bringing on reviewers. Send me an email if you want to be a part of it, along with your qualifications.

Note that I don’t have any revisions planned at the moment. Taking a break after all these books!
