The great thing about Martin's Ghost
Town Library is that you will know when you are reading one or several
of our books that 80% of your money has gone DIRECTLY to CREATING
ULTRA-COOL JOBS across the USA! 80% of every dollar that you send
us for book rental/purchase goes DIRECTLY to paying someone's
wages! So if your Turqouise Membership rental fee is $9.00
for a 6 month rental of a book, $7.20 of that goes to pay
someone's paycheck!
Where will these jobs be created? We hope to create over 1,000
jobs, and have employees in all 50 states! Many of these
employees would be editing and helping us publish books, some
would be working on web pages and software coding, others would
work in marketing or simply finding books to ship to our Library!
(Go back to our Home page, we will have a link soon that will
lead you to some of these job descriptions!)
6% will go to charities! We want to give and help people through
charities that have done great works!
2% will go to software development. We hope to have some
innovative inexpensive software products in the next year.
2% will go to buy land or real estate. While most of our
employees will work at home, we would like to build a Ghost Town
Library Ultra-Library either in South Dakota or Arizona, so that those
that would want to hop in their car, RV or Harley would be able to
visit us!
10% should cover the cost of everything else. We will post a
monthly update so you can see EXACTLY we are spending the
money. We hope the percentage going to charities can increase
some months, and the "everything else" cost will possibly
decrease.
Our motto is "Read and create jobs!"
In the near future, we hope to have web based or digital books
available on our website. Yes, there would be some people who
would read the web books for free and not pay us anything. That
is fine. Many people will choose to Martin Ghost Town Deluxe and
Titanium Editions of some of the world's greatest authors, from Thoreau
and Emerson to Rabelais, Frank Norris and Robert Louis Stevenson.
Welcome to our Ghost Town Library!
We will be happy to ship our books to you by US Postal Service
Boom Rate, USPS Priority Mail, Fed Ex, UPS and DHL. We accept
payment for your 6 month book rental by personal check, money
order, cashier's check, and by Pay Pal.
If you TOTALLY DIG our concept of "read and create jobs!" ,
you can also donate some money to us through Amazon (tm) Honor
(coming soon!) We will earmark your donation to creating MORE
JOBS!
Enjoy browsing our site! Thank you!
