Author of "Escape the City" here.
I didn't "need" $90k to write the book.
I chose to sell copies of a book, at typical book prices. Thousands of people chose to buy the book. That's where the $90k number comes from.
> And the book's photos are black & white ...
"The food is terrible...and the portions are so small".
The wonderful thing about the free market is that those who want to buy a thing can, and those who don't, need not.
Cheers!

If we want to be technical you weren't selling copies of a book, you were selling the promise of finished copies of a book. > "The food is terrible...and the portions are so small". It's great to see how you take valid criticism. > The wonderful thing about the free market is that those who want to buy a thing can, and those who don't, need not. Absolutely correct. However, that doesn't prevent me from expressing valid criticism. But good on you for writing this book. I think it's a very interesting topic and will probably buy a copy. I just wish people were a bit more honest about their goals sometimes.
