May it also be an idea to offer the book as part of the package when selling a HG? The price could be incorporated into the selling price. The cost (compared to the cost of the gurdy) would be small and it sets the buyer off in the right direction. I did buy the HG tutor as soon as I found out about it but it would have been great to have had it with the gurdy.

If he could partner with lots of builders to also sell the book on their
site that would be cool too. It would be a great way to reach anyone who
is looking at instruments online.

That combined with Leonard's idea above would do great things for your
sales In think.

    I have used an on-line on-demand publishing company called Create Space,
    which is affiliated with Amazon.  My book would interest only a tiny
    niche
    market, but I have sold more copies through Amazon than I could have by
    trying to print and advertise by myself.  Create Space requires a PDF
    version--they'll give you the specifications they need.  They will also
    automatically deposit your share in your account.

    Hope this helps a little!
