FTC Compliance Statement

This statement is intended to provide the necessary data to comply with FTC directives (16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising).

There are references and reviews of books and software, stationery, office supplies and writing tools and other items on this site. Most of the books and software I review on this site were purchased by me. Occasionally books or software may be provided to me as review copies or as time-limited beta software from publishers. Most review copies of books are ARCs and have no monetary value; indeed, it is generally neither ethical nor possible to sell them since they are identified as ARC and “not for resale.”

Pens, pencils, paper, ink and other office supplies referenced on this site were purchased by me.

Any books or other products that were provided by a publisher, retailer or distributor for review purposes are identified as such in the reviews. Otherwise, the book or product was purchased by me, a gift from a friend or family member, or borrowed from a library.

I am not and have not been paid to review any books, media, software, stationery or Web sites on this site. My reviews and recommendations are my honest, unadulterated opinions.

I indicate in a post or review if books or software were provided to me by a publisher or developer. I link to a number of publishers, book stores and developers.

Affiliate Link Policy

I use affiliate links. I am an affiliate of various services which I use to monetize this site and compensate me for server charges. I am an affiliate with several retailers, notably Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo Rakuten, Indiebooks.org, and Powell’s Books, Literature and Latte, and others. This means if you buy something from one of my affiliate links, I may receive a fee based on the item’s price. It won’t affect what you pay, and I won’t know who bought what.

I participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and its international equivalents. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. All Amazon and Amazon logos are the trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. and its affiliates.

Amazon has requested that I post the following:

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

I also participate in other affiliate programs including Apple’s, Kobo’s, Powell’s Books and Barnes & Noble’s, Literature and Latte’s affiliate programs, among others. Purchases made via links may result in this site earning associate payments.

I link to other bookstores, particularly for Ebooks, where possible. I may receive affiliate income from those links.
