Royalty formula:

Royalty = 60%*ListPrice-PrintingCost

For Iran book:
List price = $7.00
Printing cost = $2.72 (Depends on # pages)

Royalty = 60%*ListPrice-PrintingCost = 60%*7.00-2.72 = $1.48

You provide all graphics, including cover art.

Is this considered a good deal in publishing?

I will donate the rough draft to the Memory of Mankind (I don't know if it will still be available online when finished, and I could be killed by a drunken driver or a laser wielding mongoose tomorrow).

Thank You FishbellykanakaDude, that is persuasive, I stand corrected.

** 06-Apr-2019 Book Cover

I've put together the following book cover:




I chose the colors red and yellow because those are
the colors of China's flag.

I chose green for my name because I couldn't think
of anything else.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Sounds like a crap deal to me. After all, you are dealing with the thieves at Amazon...

Typo section 2.1:
Current:
"Mao's Great Leap Forward was supposed to prove that Marxism, Communism and Socialism are better than anything else, but instead it was a total disaster, causing the deaths of tens of millions [of starvation] through starvation and execution."

Correction:
Mao's Great Leap Forward was supposed to prove that Marxism, Communism and Socialism are better than anything else, but instead it was a total disaster, causing the deaths of tens of millions through starvation and execution.

Another Typo Section 2.1:
Current:
"After Mao's disaster [total] totally discredited Marxism, Socialism and Communism, once Mao died in 1976, Deng Xiaoping was able to institute an "Opening up and reform" policy that completely reversed Socialism and opened up China to free markets and capitalism. "

Correction:

I picked the blue for your name from the bluishness in the soldier's uniforms.
..the idea is to "link" the photo to your name. It sorta frames the title, and balances the page. It's also "cooling", and (I think) gives your name more "gravitas".

You might wanna darken the blue just a tad.
