READ about Fishing | Take me right to the books!! |
| Chesapeake Outdoors Fishing Bookstore, the new book store at
the Chesapeake Outdoors Web Center, is now online, operating in association with: As a longtime fisherman with a reputation for independence, I've chosen to link with Amazon.com because I believe it enjoys a well-earned reputation for honesty and good service that I can support. Amazon is one of the fastest growing enterprises in cyberspace, has recently gone public with a very successful initial public stock offering, and has had many favorable reviews from sources such as the Wall Street Journal. You frequently see their advertising on national television. I am proud to have been selected by them to represent the sales of fishing related books at wonderful discount prices. Under terms of my agreement with Amazon.com, I will objectively review selected books about fishing, dispensing both praise and criticism as I see fit. Hotlinks from each review will go directly to Amazon.com for handling. Most hardcover books are sold at a 10 to 30 percent discount from the publisher's price, and all are sold with the Amazon.com money-back guarantee. Payment may be handled by credit card (click here for details about online shopping security) or by telephone. Books are all shipped Priority Mail. Now why would you come to my web site to buy fishing books? Even at these steep discounts, you can still go direct to the Amazon web site and buy them. Well, to be very frank, there are 3 reasons: 1) You will get the same prices here as you will get by going direct to Amazon. In fact, since we are a registered partner of Amazon, when you select a book from this website, you will automatically be linked to the Amazon site for ordering, billing , and shipping. All we provide here are review services ...which brings us to our second reason... 2) Here you will only see books that I have personally checked out, or which have been checked out by other Chesapeake Outdoors members. This should give you some time savings...by looking only at books which other Chesapeake Bay fishermen have enjoyed. 3) ... and finally, by buying at the same discount prices through us that Amazon offers, you will be helping to support the maintenance cost of running this site. I am trying to pack as much value as I can into this site, and not charge any kind of membership fees. But I could use a bit of help ...and Amazon has offered to send me back small commissions on any books purchased through this site. I figure that is a nicer way for you than to charge membership fees such as some outdoors sites are doing. This way everyone wins! |
