Does it matter where i grab a physical copy from ? The link on the author page links to lulu.com but the book is also available on amazon.com. I would prefer to get it through amazon but i also want to make sure the authors get as much from the sell as possible


It all comes down to printing costs and what percent they pay on the profit. Lulu seems to offer a higher percentage to the author as a metric to your question.

Interestingly, Amazon has like 2.4 billion site visits vs. Lulu's 2 million, so the author would stand to make more on Amazon simply in volume of sales potential (1000x more).
