Absolutely NONE of Anyone's Business.....

but I will ask anyhow.

I am reading copy #19, with #18 wrapped in Saran Wrap, and placed in my Safety Deposit Box, along with my 14 lb. box of 1968-72 baseball cards, contracts, insurance stuff, and a whole bunch of Travelers' Checques (wonder what they are for?.....of course, "Checques Play!").

Anyhow, your book should join the MUST READ LIST for ALL aspiring BJ Players....Wong, Thorp, Schlesinger, Snyder, Griffin, and now, Jacobson!

Great that you are on Amazon.com! I personally hope that you make lots of $$$!

Questions:

(1) Excluding time, sweat, and research, what, if any, was your EXPENSE to get published?

(2) What is YOUR +EV per Unit sold?

(3) Is YOUR +EV higher if tBJZ is purchased at CC.com vs. bj.21 vs. Amazon?

Just curious as to your info.

You are too kind!

>Great that you are on Amazon.com! I personally hope that you make lots of $$$!

Me too, but let me tell you, there just isn't much money to be made by writing books like this. I am trying to get mass market, Barnes & Nobel is on track. That may get me up to the high 6 figures in profit (remember where to put the decimal point!).

If I haven't said this before (but I know I've said it many times), most people don't write books to make money. But they can't make any money without writing a book. That's known as the "credibility gap." After you've written a book, you suddenly get to do things like speak in front of large audiences for a premium price. There are many other perks, but you get the drift. There are companies (like (Dead link: http://www.eghostwriter.com) _www.eghostwriter.com_) that will write you a book just so you can get out there and start speaking and making the real money. Along with educating the ploppies and making a few $$$, this was my intention.

Questions:

>(1) Excluding time, sweat, and research, what, if any, was your EXPENSE to get published?

Excluding time, sweat, and research??!!! Just pay me minimum wage for those hours and I'd be rich! As for my tangiable expenses... More than $1k. A lot less than $10k.

> What is YOUR +EV per Unit sold?

When the dust settles...

On a retail sale through this site, I make about $8 / copy.
On a wholesale sale to a retail bj site, I make about $3 / copy.
On a wholesale sale to amazon.com (and the like), I make about $2 / copy.

(3) Is YOUR +EV higher if tBJZ is purchased at CC.com vs. bj.21 vs. Amazon?

Highest EV is to purchase from this site directly. bj21 or any of the other bj web sites is second. Any commercial site or location (like Amazon) is a distant third.

Thanks again for your kind words about TBJZ.
