Has anyone ever considered providing Amazon.com with scans of the cover of the reference grammar, so that they can show it on the product page for the book?
We considered doing so for our own Web Page, but have "never got around to it", though I now have a scanner. Since the book is a solid color with only the title on it, there isn't a lot to see in a simple cover scan, but I guess it could be done.
Note that amazon is changing the way it deals with special orders, and I don't yet know the details. It may be that we will be unable to sell through amazon any more, if we are unable to deal with their new policy (which I think take effect at the end of the month).
Of course, it'd be even nicer if Amazon.com could be convinced to link to the web site, but I doubt they'd go for that.
We haven't put in a link to them; why would they link to us? It isn't like they make any money selling our books. We offer a very substandard discount (27% or so; they want us to give them a 55% discount, which is the norm in the bookselling industry, but we can't afford to do this).
