I'm really excited to have this in my hot little hands.
Any chance for a POD version as well? Lulu maybe?
Note: I got three download links each containing different chapters, and Chapter 10: Life in Scandinavia seems to be redundantly included in both the seccond and third download links. Not a big deal, just thought I'd point it out though.
Skimming over it, this looks like an amazing resource!
Thanks for the catch! Chapter 10 has been removed from the second zip file. This does not really affect any of you, but it will make the final file size smaller for future reference!
ConanMK, please PM me with your email address. I will send out a free book to you as thanks.
As for POD and LULU, that's in the hands of VIDAR who owns the book and original docs. I am only publishing the PDF side of it.
Honestly though, POD never faired well for me. Even one of my best selling PDFs, Unorthodox Paladins, only sold about 5 total POD copies. One of the problems is price. A 250+ page book like VIKINGS would have to sell for $40 or more (plus shipping) in softcover.
And the cost to do that would be much higher. I'm actually taking a loss on this book at the moment since I paid for the fantastic cover, and I probably won't recoup that cost for some time. Specifically, I bought the cover for PDF sales only -- to go to print I'd have to find a different lame free image for the cover, or pony up lots more money for the current cover. Financially it may not be worth based on previous POD sales.
Not that I mind. I think Vikings is a fantastic book, and I would not have put time and money into it if I didn't believe in Vidar. He really did a fantastic job, and I can't wait to see what he pulls out of his hat next!
