    I went through all my youtube videos and added the advert in those videos:

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=035efQMtvsA

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhIRC9Jm-94

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbKSqHRIQ4k

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWZOBX1vE7A

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa3kjBplA-A

    As you see, all those videos together have a few millions views (combined).

    I will order the book from you on Tuesday or Wednesday (when I got cash on my paypal account); even though I never read a book about Greb, it feels as if I did, because I read a few books on Dempsey and Tunney and there was a lot of biographic Greb stuff in it.

    I am definitely looking forward to your 700 pages book about Greb.

    Hi Klompton2,
    Would it be better for you if I buy it directly from you or via Amazon. Im guessing that you may get a bigger cut from a direct purchase. I can pay by PayPal.

    All the best,
    Grinder

    I do make more if I sell directly but if you want it faster Amazon is the way to go as it will be a week or so before I have my inventory plus the time it takes to ship to you.

    Klompton, are you happy with the text of the adverts? I didn't put the name of the book or your name in it, because my experience/opinion is that people do not read annotations if they are too long in youtube videos. They are concentrated on the video and there is only time for a short text to read.
    And I guess the amazon link is better than the barnes & noble link because outside of america, or at least here in europe where I live, nobody knows barnes & noble or at least nobody has ever ordered anything there. But amazon is well known of course also here in europe.

    But if you think you want a certain text in the annotations, I can change it of course.

    Hey guys. My book was placed on sale today by Amazon. Its an incredible discount. $27 for a 715 page hardback with over 500 photos is a great deal. Jump on it while it lasts.

    Hi Klompton, I can wait. I'm in Australia so not sure what postage would be. If it is a trouble, I can buy directly from Amazon but I'd prefer that you received the royalties.

    I've just received my copy from Amazon. It looks like an outstanding work...and that Klompton has done justice to a great, great fighter. Very much looking forward to reading it...
