Over 8,000 Sold!

When I was a boy, McDonald's was new, and I loved their hamburgers.  But the nearest location was 12 miles away, and we went there rarely.  On the sign over the building it said "Over 1 million sold!"  Later they changed it to "Over 2 million sold!," and after that, 3 million.  Later I saw that they had modified the sign to make it easier to change the number.  Eventually it said "millions sold" and now over a billion sold.

So two weeks ago we reached "Over 8,000 sold" of Beating the Dementia Monster.  That includes the first edition that we launched in February of 2018 and the second edition that we launched in July 2020.

When we launched the second edition, we were initially selling about 25 copies a day as a consequence of advertising campaigns on Amazon.  But during the pandemic, Amazon changed their advertising policies to prohibit advertising any book that claimed to tell how to treat a disease.  So more recently we've been selling about 3 copies a day, although some days we don't sell any at all.  Nevertheless, they are selling, and I get encouraging mail from people who believe they've been helped by my story.  And we have 4.5 stars on Amazon, which is respectable.

This is very gratifying to me.  So all of you who have bought our book, especially if you have given us favorable feedback on Amazon and other review sites, thank you so very, very much!
