Welcome to Books of Excellence

Books of Excellence
Author's Co-Operative
www.booksofexcellence.com

The idea behind the Books of Excellence Co-Op is to give authors an opportunity to share their books with other authors in the group who will in turn spread the word to their friends and families. They will also help promote the site by linking it whenever possible to personal websites. The site will also advertise on the Internet and through press releases to help generate sales.

Authors in the co-op are required to buy five (5) books annually from other authors on the site to help generate book sales and interest. Every time a book is purchased by a member of the group, a note is sent to the author.

Each author is allowed to promote one book on the website front page. In addition, each author is provided with a personal page to share book or books information as part of the membership.
In addition to our author members, we are allowing sponsors to advertise on the site. These are companies which have been checked out by various author members and recognized for their excellent work. It is NOT an endorsement of any particular service, but an acknowledgement that the companies have been used satisfactorily by our members. If there is at any time questionable ethics brought to the attention of the co-op organizer, the sponsor will be removed from the group.

Books of Excellence grew out of the tragedy of one of the largest predatory publishing scams in American history perpetrated by Airleaf Publishing. Their stories can be found at www.AirleafVictims.com. In the year of unraveling this horrific crime where authors were robbed for over 2 million dollars in publishing and promotional services, the victims who are part of this group looked for ways to promote their books on their own. One way of moving forward was to start this co-op. Although the site is primarily comprised of authors who were Airleaf victims, it is also open to other people who publish books independently.

If you would like more information or if you would like to be a member of the co-op, contact Bonnie Kaye at Bonkaye@aol.com. Please visit or website at www.booksofexcellence.com.
