I thought Equusearch was funded by donations from many sources, and from the general public.

Nelson is not the greatest publishing house in the land, and if the motive is to raise more money for searching, I fear that many people will be disappointed.

Nelson doesn't publish books for its health, nor as a public service. They take a hefty cut of the profits to cover publicity, overhead, marketing, etc.

Their true story books are poorly done, if John and Patsy Ramsey's book "Death of Innocence", is any example. Thousands of copies were remaindered out and people were buying the book for one dollar less than a year after publication.

IMHO, Nelson is as bad as the tabloids, jumping on headline-making cases and exploiting grieving parents.

That's all I'm going to say about that, so don't bother responding.

too bad, this isn't high art and I really doubt Dave is interested in a glowing review.

I'll buy as many copies as I can. Did you ever think this is a way for a company to donate, you don't know what the deal is and if they make a profit and it helps in any way to bring his daughter home, then to me it's better than most of the books on the best seller list anyway.

Screw the Da vinci code, it was so over-rated. I'll stand behind this decent man, who's best outcome is to bury his daughter.
