We’re going to keep this page simple – just like our philosophy.

We feel that people should be able to pay a small amount of money and get a quality product.

All of our e-books are formatted specifically for the Kindle by an expert in formatting online content using only raw code.
And that expert is likely a ton of volunteers at Distributed Proofreaders and white washers at Project Gutenburg
All of our releases have a cover image and a linked table of contents – because books should.
I bet you didn't even do that yourself
