The problem Im having, which Im sure you might also be experiencing, is effectively promoting this book. My book link is http://www.lulu.com/product/hardcover/salaam-from-south-africa/11257301?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1 There is also a downloadable version available. I have approached amazon.com regarding how I could get my book up on their website..but im currently still awaiting a response. I was wondering if perhaps you have any ideas as to how to effectively get my book out there? You can respond to this request or you can email me on zaid@hbzbank.co.za Il let you know the full lowdown on how my amazon.com experience went. Hoping to hear from you
