My paperback books now have permanently lower prices on Lulu.com than on Amazon!
Since November 2025 I have been reducing the prices of my paperbacks on Lulu.com in "odd" months, because I felt that the price hiking used by Amazon and other resellers was unfair to both my readers and me. I have now found a way to permanently reduce the prices on Lulu.com by creating duplicate book projects, one for resellers only and the other just for Lulu.com. #sas #books #altairslc #lowerprice #luludotcom #amazon #paperback

March’s paperback 30% discounts on Lulu.com will expire on 30 March
Please do not buy these paperbacks from resellers now they have become available, like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., as the resellers over-inflate their prices, but wait for discounted prices for the paperbacks on Lulu.com between the 1st and 30th day of “odd” months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep and Nov), or download the equivalent ebooks instead (always discounted) from the Book Table, which is where the lowest prices for my paperbacks and ebooks can always be found. #sas #altairslc #books #ebooks #discount #programming
Apologies to all my loyal blog members, and thank you for your patience over the last few weeks…
Those of you who have tried to access my blog site during May and June experienced a very slow response, or, occasionally, no response at all, throughout the day. I have been investigating potential solutions, including using FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) to speed up the PHP programs. I was close to implementing this solution, but had actually made no changes, when the response times suddenly improved dramatically earlier this week. #blog #server #performance #ebooks #altairslc
Joy unbounded revisted! My blog server is up, running again and now I hope it is stable! I have reduced my PDF ebook prices for you until 17Oct2025
On Thursday 09 October I reported that a server issue had been resolved. However, overnight a new problem surfaced. This has now been fixed too. As promised, until 17Oct2025, there will be a 10% discount on all PDF ebook downloads from this site. #blog #server #fault #ebooks #discount

Saving money buying books directly from the publisher and this blog site
The book prices shown below were correct at time of writing, but should be verified before purchasing. All books can be purchased using links from this blog site at The Book Table. Note that Amazon is convenient, but usually more expensive, so you will pay more there, and authors will receive lower royalty payments. It is, of course, your choice, but please support independent authors by buying their books on publisher sites, or directly from their blog sites, and save money at the same time!
