All of Ed's paperbacks will increase in price a little bit, come this June 20. Amazon is increasing the cost per page, which I expect to happen a little more regularly now, given inflation, and probably shrinking supply and labor. So, that increase you might see in the books isn't me slyly trying to increase revenue.
The books are still being sold as low as possible. Amazon, still for some reason, won't let a publisher offer anything "at cost," so I am making a few cents per book sold. For full disclosure purposes, I did send Ed some money some time ago to cover whatever revenue comes in to me personally from those sales. If for some reason his books start to really move, I'll work something out with Ed to send him more.
I attached an Excel sheet of Ed's lifetime sales. Check the "Paperback Royalties" tab: 31 books sold, a few cents profit. The rest of the document probably isn't of much interest. Maybe I will do this yearly or quarterly, just so we are all aware of how things are doing in that channel.
