About this ebook
Arthur Crandon, a technophobic lawyer has spent two years writing and publishing a total of four books now, with no assistance with the writing, formatting, cover design or publishing. The tecnnological revolution is making it easier to do this all the time. Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous 'publishers' who will take a lot of money off of you to do things that you can very easily do yourself. Have a go first, then if you need help ask for it. There is lots of it out there, and most of it for free .
