Cracks Me Up To Receive Royalties On Web Technology Books I Wrote 20+ Years Ago (That Are Totally Out Of Date).

Available, of course, of Amazon — here & there.

It is very clear when the books were written. Plus they can Preview them + RETURN THEM.

But, a few buy them & keep them. I am happy — though they are (these days) only buying the (much cheaper) eBook editions. That is OK. I am happy.

I got paid ADVANCES for both these books — & I was HAPPY just with what I got upfront. [By now, 20+ years later, I have fully paid back those advances, why I get these checks.] Obviously, the Royalty Check isn’t for much. Pays for 2 weeks of wine (now that I don’t drink as much). So, that is OK. Better than a kick in the teeth.

We got it from ‘Hilltop‘, Somersworth, NH.

Was basically a very quick, near impulse buy (but not by I). {As you can see I am not in the picture (quite literally)).

Good deal. We are HAPPY. I AM HAPPY {& that is somewhat important}.

So far very pleased & impressed with dealership. Hope it continues as such. Nice folks. {Not as fancy & health-conscious as a ‘Volvo’ dealership, but nice enough.}

Now the SECOND Chevy in the fleet. Nothing wrong with that. I have owned a LOT of GM/Chevys. I am glad.

Will keep you posted.

Yes, still 4 leased cars: 2 Chevys, Volvo XC60 & Mazda CX-30. {The latter, 18-months into its lease still doesn’t have 2,500 miles!}
