A Bit of Consumer Advice from Two Egg, Florida

I was browsing through Amazon.com today and noticed that some people and/or companies are reselling copies of my various books for some pretty astronomical prices. Here are some examples.
  • Two Egg, Florida - $21.36 (Retails for $16.95)
  • Battle of Marianna - $34.97 (Retails for $19.95)
  • Battle of Natural Bridge -$19.75 (Retails for $19.95)
  • History of Jackson County, Florida: The Early Years - $51.77 (Retails for $24.95)
  • Early History of Gadsden County, Florida - $51.77 (Retails for $24.95)

Amazon provides a service that lets other firms or individuals resell books through their website. And honestly, I have no problem with anyone making a profit, but I hate the thought of a reader paying $51.77 for a book that they can buy brand new for $24.95.

If you want any of my books for Christmas gifts, I suggest you buy them from the official site at www.exploresouthernhistory.com/dalecox. Amazon now services all orders there and you can get new copies at the best price available. Signed copies of The History of Jackson County, Florida: The Early Years are also available at Chipola River Book and Tea in Downtown Marianna.

Best,

Dale Cox
