Basically, we fix boats... they sell books.
In association with Amazon.com, we have selected some books that might interest you. We have only a small sample of what is available. Amazon.com pays a commission for each sale, to the site that originated the sale. This commission is about 5 to 10% of the sale price. In keeping with our mission to keep this web site as non-commercial as possible, every penny we receive from any book sale at Amazon.com, will be donated to the "Food for the Poor Foundation". ( www.foodforthepoor.com ) There is a two fold issue we address with this concept. First, as you have seen throughout this web site, we encourage learning to use the manual. So getting you to buy the book serves that purpose. And second, we feel that this small step on our part will encourage others to add more content and value to their web sites and part of that is community support. As you know the web is rutted with web sites trying to sell you a toaster, but few are trying to help you put bread into it. Anyway, a full description of the title, author, and in many cases, links to additional reading of a similar type are at Amazon.com's site. Any questions concerning payment processing, ordering, shipping, order status, and returns is handled by Amazon.com's customer service. If you have any questions about a book, feel free to contact us. Remember to use a link from this web site. If there is a book that you want to buy that doesn't have a link, let us know. Amazon.com's books are the same price whether you link it through us or not. In most cases, the book cover is the link to a full description. Note: these links open in new window. 08/07/2007 I would like to thank everyone who ordered books (items too) last year. The total commissions from last year was approximately $200, And, like the previous three years, as an Extra Bonus, We matched Amazon.com's commission with our own funds. We're sure you can agree that "Food for the Poor Foundation" is a very good cause and that the funds we send will be of great benefit.
