Amazon make it easy for the independent author. Take a look at Kindle Desktop Publishing. There are various ways into Amazon's publishing platform. You can even design the cover at no charge. ISBN is also free. I've published eight books so far (two seagoing memoirs). You can build an author page on Amazon - see mine at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Nicho...6752929&sr=8-2
If I can be of help, please ask.

Re: Publishers of books about shipping
Just an update on Jeff, he is still going but has good and Bad days , more Bad than good though and on Bad days he says it is getting worse.
But still on the move slow does it unfortunately cannot see any real progress to what he was of course!
But knowing Jeff he will fight this as well as he can, and just gets on with Life as best he can!
Jeff is another of the number one Guys in my Book, a very likable character .
Always thinking of him, as i do of some others too.
Cheers
