I feel for my poor Husband, we live in surrey uk and self published his first childrens book, last november and now nothing at all. I have 40 copies of his book to sell. We have had book signings but here in uk one has to be careful in book shops as they all want too much commision .Never mind we have learnt by our huge mistake.regards amandah; ▶ Reply to This

Best of luck.
