Look around. Read and enjoy!

Wanted to make a point and this sale does that. This is a £10.00 book at the online store and it was sold to someone in the United States.


Note that from the £10.00 I get £3.75 -the other £6.25 goes to the printer and print on demand company.  It's still £3.75, right?  Check the screenshot below this.

Previously available as two seperate volumes and now collected into one 146 pages volume!

Vol 1

Centaur -the short-lived publishing house of some of the first and most unique Golden Age heroes that still live on in legend today! The Eye Sees! Truly weird and bizarre! The Clock! Airman! The Sparkler! The Blue Lady! Plymo! The Arrow! And others. Volume 1 is a treat for all Golden Age comic fans and a must have!
Volume 2

The Skull,The Shark,The Blue Lady and Amazing Man! These were part of the First Wave of US Golden Age comics that also includes Mini Midget and Mighty Man. This book also reprints the one and only appearance of the very first comic book Owl from 1940! A must for comic fans and Golden Age buffs!





Note the * and fluctuations due  to currency exchange -like most US companies the POD will wait until the rate suits them and not the publisher -me. So, based on previous knowledge that figure will be more like £3.00.
Still, £3.00 though, right?  Sadly, no. You see, the US Tax people will tax me on that as a foreign trader and have been doing so for two years now despite my tax exemption claim –I cannot get a tax statement to cover this from HM Tax and Revenue because I simply do not earn enough to justify the effort or document (and I was told to stop sending in statements re. sales until I reached a certain figure because it was time wasting –someone in comics wants to be honest and gets the brush off!).


It means that the IRS will tax me. I may get £1.50-2.00 out of this sale.  Increase the book price? No.

That tells you how it all works!

Now, cutting back on posts due to something I only learned today about the blog on other devices.  So look around.  Read and enjoy!
