* Studies show that every book is read more than four times, meaning more people will see the advertisements. In addition, others will page through "display books" in the pro shop and on-display at advertiser locations and other sites. Reader "retention" from a independent, 3rd party endorsement, is better than with TV or newspaper advertising.

** 250 copies of a 300 page "customized novel" will cost approximately $2,500.
