I just picked up a copy of “Johnny Tremain”, a book of a young boy during the American Revolution by Esther Forbes published in 1943.

@Chris Brown If you have to do this to see your book on Amazon, what is the benefit of staying with Ingram?

Zee, Here's another one from Hannah. Do you like it better?

I received my first cover draft from Hannah Linder and I wanted to know what you all thought. I know, you don't like the title, but you're stuck with that! The first cover is my original and the second with the HL watermark is the draft.

When I see a book I want on Amazon, I don't even see the publisher
