Why I'm an Amazon Associate

I am an Amazon Affiliate. Amazon isn't a company that I personally want to do business with, but once I removed links to their book pages, people told me that some books that are carried by Amazon UK were not readily available elsewhere.

I have added links to Amazon catalog pages for those books, but I've also added links to other booksellers, including Indie Books independent bookstores, and specialist book stores. You can read about those alternatives here. I have tried to include a full bibliographic reference for books, usually including the ISBN number, so you can use a local book store, or Books for Scholars, the Celtic scholarly book specialist for titles Amazon doesn't carry, like those published in Ireland by the Dublin Institute or in Wales by University of Wales Press.

But I'm also an Amazon Associate because pays Associates a percentage of the price of items ordered through a link from an Associate's web site. I doubt very much that I'll make a lot of money (I haven't thus far), but as traffic to this site has increased, so has my financial burden. Every little bit helps.
