The '98 Godzilla did pretty well financially, it made almost $380 million off a $130 million budget, that's pretty good for a movie that was universally considered a massive pile of shit.
EDIT: It should be noted that that's a worldwide total, the US total was about $136 million

Pretty sure there is like another hour or two left of Aug. 13th on the West coast...

But unless Jose pops on, we don't know anybody from the West Coast on WrestleZone.
I miss that guy.

I give you credit for that. You took my typo and ran with it

That's one hell of a typo since the T and N aren't even close.
By 'typo' he meant 'I cannot spell and did not want anyone to know- so thanks, now I have to go cut myself.'
If Yaz hurts himself- I will haunt you. So apologize and let him misspell whatever he wants. Shame on you all to point out such a sensitive subject around him.

So I got an email from the Marketing department of the publisher of my book asking me to fill out a form giving them information about myself and the book so they can drum up interest. It includes several opportunities to furnish them with a mailing list of friends, family, colleagues and companies who I think might be interested in buying or reviewing the book.
Personally, I feel uncomfortable about such propagandising, especially as someone who detests cold calling and spam emails, which is essentially what they are asking me to do, along with signing up for potential book signings and even organising my own events. While I would not have much problem taking part in a book signing, the idea of self-propagandising makes me feel nauseous.
On top of that, it is forcing me to highlight that I have very, very few contacts within academia and that the farming community I live in is hardly the place to be advertising an academically researched work on conflicts that took place in the Middle East 1300 years ago.

I've seen you mention your book before but never the title. What is it?

While I accept the hypocrisy of complaining about promoting my book by talking about my book more, I will indulge it further.

You think that is bad? There are two copies in the Amazon UK second hand marketplace listed at just shy of £1000!
I imagine it is because there are currently so few copies in the marketplace as a whole that they get tagged as "rare."

Well, if you want the book to make money, you're probably going to have to do some things that make you uncomfortable. Such is the nature of the publishing industry today. As much as that sucks, I'm sure your newfound wealth will help ease your pain.

What is the title of your book Barbosa? I'll took into getting a copy as well.

To be honest, no matter how much promotion I do, I am not going to make any more money beyond what I already have.
As I said, I am not against doing some promotion if it involves talking about the book and the subjects but when it comes to promoting myself and providing a mailing list to essentially bother people is not for me.
It is in the spoiler field a few posts above.

But then again, you're likely much older than me so I'm not fretting. As a personal goal I'm still within the confines of completing my Masters by the time I'm 30.
