You can view my book here, http://hiddennook.com/page5.html but if you want to buy a copy please contact me rather than buying online, as I can personally sign it. I didn't make my email address visible here but there should be some way to send a message by way of the forum or you could post your contact info.

Forgive me if I find it odd that you won't post your own contact info, but expect others to.

Ya never know what kind of people might be around out there.

Precisely the point Autmunmuse was trying to make me thinks.

According to the Homepage of the website they provided it's a resource for self-published book.

So it's a vanity press then.

This person probably automatically thinks we'll trust them simply because this vanity e-book press also specializes in works related to Christianity.

Nope, sorry. You want my trust, you have to earn it. I aint gonna just give to ya just because you belong to a certain sect.

Frankly, religion is the bane of this world.

Bear in mind, though, that that is a separate issue from my belief in God.

Man created religion, which is his folly.

God created man, which was His folly.

It is NOT vanity publishing! It is desktop publishing. World of difference! Attacking someone's religion is uncalled-for, too. Luckily, I am not a fanatic and won't be burning any embassies or otherwise committing general mayhem.

Self-publishing does not render a book worthless; quite the contrary, it often allows for higher printing standards than mass-produced works.

Here is just a sampling of well-known authors who have chosen to self-publish: Margaret Atwood, L. Frank Baum, William Blake, Ken Blanchard, Robert Bly, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Lord Byron, Willa Cather, Pat Conroy, Stephen Crane, e.e. cummings, W.E.B. DuBois, Alexander Dumas, T.S. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Benjamin Franklin, Zane Grey, Thomas Hardy, E. Lynn Harris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ernest Hemingway, Robinson Jeffers, Spencer Johnson, Stephen King, Rudyard Kipling, Louis L'Amour, D.H. Lawrence, Rod McKuen, Marlo Morgan, John Muir, Anais Nin, Thomas Paine, Tom Peters, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, Beatrix Potter, Ezra Pound, Marcel Proust, Irma Rombauer, Carl Sandburg, Robert Service, George Bernard Shaw, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Upton Sinclair, Gertrude Stein, William Strunk, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoi, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, and Virginia Woolf.
