Pirates Online

Cherry Blossom Press has removed all but three Anthony Buccino titles from #Amazon’s #Kindle distribution. Several online companies say they offer downloads of our titles. The companies do not have rights to distribute copies in any format. These unauthorized, pirated, copies of ebook titles allegedly available from less than scrupulous distributors may be trolls who use these books as clickbait. While the sites may be legitimate ebook resellers (probably scammers), they are not and were never authorized to resell Cherry Blossom Press titles.

Sixteen Inches on Center, One Morning in Jersey City, and Martha Stewart Doesn’t Live Here Anymore & Other Essays continue to be available on Kindle eBooks. If you already own other titles in your Kindle library, they should not be affected by this distribution change.
