Publishing Plan
The plan is to finish publishing the remaining volumes in ebook, and then publish each of them in print.
These books are expensive to get into print because each of them is a non-fiction analysis with hundreds of foreign terms and citations. They need to be professionally indexed before I can print them, otherwise librarians, professors, and scholars won’t purchase the books.
To create the print books I need the revenue from the ebooks, so please support my writing and share the news with your friends. Let them know that Volume 1 is out now and the rest are coming soon.
It Begins!
This book will change everything you think you know, and give you new eyes.
It will take you on a wild and hilarious adventure from the begining to the end of Son Goku’s adventure.
And it will remind you of why you love this series so much.
Now step with me through the doorway of Dragon Ball Culture.
thank kami-sama of perhaps shenlong!
lol, iam pretty sure as toriyama is sūpā ninja shinobi he mysteriouslǐ intends for his masterpeices to be clairvoyantlǐ decoded by true fans whom he’ll show his face to on some charlie & the chocolate factory/japanese willy wonka!
Thanks, Sūn. There certainly are a lot of things in Dragon Ball left unexplained to the audience. But that’s what I’m here for! Doing my best with it.
thank 大界王神! :+)
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
Derek, I understand you need the revenue from the ebook to publish them in print. But do you know approximately how long you’ll take between each volume to be published as ebook?
Personally I prefer to buy the books in print.
Thanks for the good cheers, Porice.
I’d say it will take about 2 to 3 weeks for each volume to be released in ebook. That’s because of my fanatical obsession with making each book 100% before release.
I’m working on Volume 2 now, so you can expect that in a couple weeks.
That’s great! I was honestly expecting months in between each volume.
You’ll be able to have these goodies out in print in no time then!
Looking forward to buying them :)
DarkPrince_92 from Kanzenshuu checking in. Awesome work, sounds tedious as hell. Crazy, because it is a non-fiction thing, it takes more effort to get any backing. Good luck bruh.
You’re right, but I love Dragon Ball, so it was worth the effort.
Thank you!
