Abandoned AmericaApr 16, 2023
I hate peddling my own wares but I'm a stubborn fool who decided to make my career in the arts because I probably wasn't good for much else. Unfortunately, this makes wares-peddling kind of unavoidable. So, if you like abandoned places, I have signed copies of my first book, "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences" on sale with a free 5x7 print. There are 30-odd chapters of photos of some of my favorite abandoned places in it, so, idk, if that's your thing here you go

Well, folks, I got an absolute TON of book orders - far, far more than I expected - and am feeling very thankful for all of you who ordered them, boosted this, and/or are just generally supportive and kind. There were so many orders I had to order more books from my publisher and get more shipping boxes too. Let none say that the Fediverse community doesn't support the arts. I really appreciate it and hope you all enjoy your books. Thank you so much fedi friends ❤️

@AbandonedAmerica I'm having trouble finding a Canadian distributor, but this sounds like you're doing fulfillment yourself?? Can I get you to use USPS (*not* UPS or FedEx) to ship to Canada? And if so, where should I order?

@athompso Hi! If you email me the address I can check, my email is [email protected]

Based on prior experience I'm going to guess somewhere around $60 USD. It is absolutely outlandish. I hate to suggest it but Amazon does carry it https://www.amazon.ca/Abandoned-America-consequences-Matthew-Christopher/dp/2361950944/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FPYOJBTWS8IK&keywords=abandoned+america&qid=1681683071&sprefix=abandoned+america%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1

@AbandonedAmerica Blech. However, I held my nose and ordered it through them.
I had searched earlier and couldn't find it, unsure why.

BTW, since you've previously mentioned financial difficulties, please allow me to recommend spending $7 on @mwl 's Cash Flow for Creators ( https://mwl.io/nonfiction/biz-craft#c4c ). At that price, I'm 100% positive it'll generate a positive return on investment for you! (Disclaimer: my wife, a professional accountant, was one of the pre-print reviewers.)
