As we approach the end of the 15th year of our blog, the question that often occurs now is -- why are we doing this?
In the first 6-7 years it complemented our retail division which sold transport-subject books and DVDs, but sales of them have steadily reduced to the point where that division has become almost defunct as ever more people have switched to using the web to research their subjects of interest.
This blog has been a labor of love for some years, but as economic conditions have become tough with soaring costs, particularly in Los Angeles, and Wellington is little better, we need to devote more time to the things that bring in dinero.
We'll put a tip jar up shortly, the response to which will provide incentive to carry on or not as the case may be.

You should put an easy-to-find link to your catalog on this page; seems I've seen the same couple of books advertised on the right side of the page for ten-plus years now.

Those are the last three we published for the booktrade, everything since has been commissioned by others and we don't sell them. But are are going to do what you suggest for the available books.
Don't forget to include the DVDs, and thanks! Merry belated Christmas to you and Happy New Year!
