Just a reminder, folks; don't buy the paperback version of #IntoTheForgottenForest from Amazon! You can find it much cheaper through other retailers.

I know every sale that happens, and I only charge $18.99.

I see things like this police blotter entry about an #AmazonScam in my local paper, and I think "okay, I've been using computers since the early 80s, and I would never fall for that kind of stuff." But the real question is, what will there be in 10 or 20 years that I will fall for because I won't understand?

"I love it when you can "buy" a Kindle book for free, except it wasn't free. It was the table of contents followed by a link to purchase it elsewhere."

The publisher/seller seems to be 'classicsbookstore'; their email is classicsbookstore1@gmail
