The Best of Go Inside Magazine Now Published on Amazon Kindle Direct!

Well, that was fast! One day Volumes 1 and 2 of the “Best of Urban Semiotic” hits the virtual Kindle Direct Publishing shelves, and here we are on the same day with an all-new “The Best of Go Inside Magazine, Volume 1 (1983-2012)” magically published via Amazon Kindle Direct as well!

Here’s what happened. I have a plan for testing the viability and sustainability of “The Best of” the Boles Blogs Networks articles on Amazon via Kindle Direct Publishing.

Since the break of the New Year, I have been whittling down this Urban Semiotic Blog into its best, redacted, stories that I alone have written. It was a long and sweaty job and the results are interesting. There are no images or hotlinks or reader comments or quotes from outside sources. It’s just me and my word against your eye.

The results of that effort are twofold: The Best of Urban Semiotic, Volumes 1 and 2 on sale now on Amazon as Kindle Direct Publishing books! You can read these books on your smartphone, Kindle, tablet or computer!
