Big time?

[smed]

I think Chuck has hit the big time -- I got the latest issue of ANA's Money Market in the mail today (it's an ANA catalog where the sell book, albums, microscopes, all sorts of coin-related stuff) and on the first page of New Books from Money Market what do I see?? Looking Through Lincoln Cents: Chronology of a Series!

Congrats Chuck!!

How cool is that? Mr. Chuck is getting pretty famous out in the real world. Congrats Chuck. Can't wait for the second edition/printing!

Heck, something I didn't even know about. Pretty cool!

Second edition will have an additional 50 or so pages and should be out at the end of February.

Smed, I got my Money Market about a week ago, and had not even opened it. Just had a look, and I see tha book! Very cool to see the book next to other issues.

How has the sale of the book gone anyways Chuck? Does it look like it has paid off?

Anyways, the book looks very cool in Money Market, and hopefully is just the begining for things to come.

Gabe,

I didn't really plan on making much of anything on the book. I think I'm close to the break-even point, might have made $100-$200 on it, but that would be about it. The cover price was too low, marketing was too expensive, and the wholesalers ate me alive on it. I made about $1.20 per cover profit from the wholesalers.

The money wasn't the point, though. The point was to expose the name, to bring people to the site...and that has happened. What I wanted to happen did, so the money isn't important. I now have a publisher listening to me - in fact, they are on a first name basis with me. They will likely publish my next book too.
