More Poems from the Road - the new edition - is now available electronically. It is exciting to be slowly entering the age of e-publishing, reaching potential readers in Europe that would have been impossible before amazon.com opened e-markets in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain.
For the first ninety days of publication, the new editions will be trying their wings on Amazon Prime. This will permit distribution of free review copies and will also allow Prime members to borrow the books free, one at a time, for up to a month. Authors get $1.74 each time a book is borrowed, so Amazon is sharing at least a portion of the $79 annual fee for Prime memberships.
The original Poems from the Road, Travels with Willa Cather, will soon be re-issued electronically as well. I look forward to seeing its spiffy new cover, with the photograph of the bridge at Avignon, France, take its place beside the old, rather dated one for Red Cloud to Cross Creek. Each has its place.
