When I published ‘natural selection’ last week the agreed price with Lulu Press was and is $9.95. In time, that price may go down but I assure you it will never increase.
Then it came to my attention the book was available on Amazon at $20. I wish to say I did not sanction that nor was I consulted, it seems the people at Amazon are a law unto themselves
and I’m surprised and annoyed they jacked the price up so much, double in fact.
I didn’t publish my book to exploit customers, I published it to share my poetry at what I consider is the fair and reasonable price of $9.95.
I wrote a note of complaint to Amazon and didn’t receive a reply, but I see today they list the book with the comment ‘temporarily unavailable’ – good!
The book is available at Lulu Press, and their website is considered very safe.
Sorry for this note but I wanted to clear the air.
Thank you

Thanks John. Amazon seems to set prices where it can, because it can.

Thanks for the update, John. I haven’t had issues with Amazon, but sometimes there are glitches. Hopefully, your book will be on their site again with the right corrections. I’m working on a third book now and searching different publishing options, so it’s good to hear this about Lulu, too. Have a great weekend! 😊
Yes,
Lauren
Lulu is reliable and safe and their books are produced to a high standard
