Astonishingly, my Kindle book:
"Beyond the Coffee Shop: Riding 1970's Moto Guzzi motorcycles in Northern Canada"
is #1 best seller in Motorcycles (amazon.com and amazon.ca) and #1 best seller in Canadian Travel (amazon.co.uk).  ;-T :BEER:

Not time to give up the day job yet though (more's the pity).  Don't ask for absolute numbers - 'tis to laugh - it says more about Amazon's marketing strategy than sale numbers.

But BIG thanks to those who've bought it.  What are the rest of you waiting for?  ~;

Apologies for dredging this up again, but some generous words from Tom ;-T reminded me that the good folks at RealClassic magazine in the UK had published a very nice promo piece on their web site a while back 

http://www.realclassic.co.uk/books/beyond-the-coffee-shop-book-nick-adams.html which I thought I should share.

Many thanks to those of you who have sent your beer money to Amazon :-*. 

Many thanks to all of you for being great members of this excellent forum   :bow :bow.

Dusty's right. It's the cost of printing and distribution that's prohibitive, whereas once the digital files have been uploaded there is zero production cost.  If you have a PC, phone or tablet, there is a Kindle reader (free) which will allow you to read any Kindle book.  You can download it from Amazon.  I'm hooked on reading them on my phone in bed. Much easier to handle than a book and just as pleasant to read.

Hi,
I'm on my third book of Nick's. The two "guzzi" books - coffee shop and bypass - were great.
I am now working part time in a museum. Archaeology is becoming an interest so discovering a thread that ties guzzi and graves is great. And having noticed a couple of references to Dorchester, where I work, I am now hooked.
Keep them coming.
