Book Vendor Archive

This dedicated page offers proof of the prior existence of Vendor Sales for my 2017 Memoir Title. In the case of the Amazon screenshot, we can actually see the Reader Reviews, in-situ.

Screenshots of three (now lapsed) book sale pages should be sufficient to demonstrate the authentic global distribution that my book once enjoyed: until post-COVID19 events conspired to pull the rug from under this highly laudable project.

In addition, I also possess archived emails showing amicable correspondence between myself and the founder/proprietor of Booksmango … my 2017 Publisher. It is these emails that contain the explanation for why my book was prematurely given the stamp … “No Longer In Print”.

This Q1-2022 downgrade also undermined untold numbers of other book-titles, which had been published by hundreds of other authors, both known and unknown. So it was not just my own title that suffered. It was a commercial (private business) decision forced upon Booksmango® by circumstances that were progressively triggered by a sequence of ‘plandemic’ lockdowns.

As of Q2-2023 their publishing services for Indie Authors (in both digital and print formats) still exist, but unlike pre-2022, they now only produce new books that must then be hosted by Authors themselves, or on third-party platforms of their choosing (and at cost to Authors).

Note that screenshots of those Sales Pages once hosted by Nook (Barnes & Noble), Kobo (Rakuten), and Apple Books … were never taken.

All other (ebook and paperback) Vendor displays of Book-1/Wanderlust were arranged by my publisher, Booksmango. Out of all the many vendor options originally arranged, the only vendors that attracted sales were Amazon (both Kindle and Paperback) and Booksmango own catalogue pages … mostly because their primary USP was to offer PDF versions of each title.

This means Goodkindles was the only Vendor that I (the Author) independently arranged, and paid a placement fee for.

The last time I checked, my Book’s dedicated GoodKindle’s page was still functional; although no purchase can be made at this point in time due to the deletion of Bookmango’s Amazon (Kindle) account. If you would like to read the original Blurb (shown in the screenshot image below), then try clicking the green button.

Harold Pinter Quote

^Page Content^

“A writer’s life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. … You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection – unless you lie…
I believe that despite the enormous odds which exist, unflinching, unswerving, fierce intellectual determination, as citizens, to define the real truth of our lives and our societies is a crucial obligation which devolves upon us all. It is in fact mandatory.
If such a determination is not embodied in our political vision we have no hope of restoring what is so nearly lost to us – the dignity of man.”
Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture, 2005
