With the posting of my recent offering (Uncle's Beach House) the foreword has generated a lot of interest in getting an uncensored copy of the book. Usually, my forward reads, simply: This book was edited to comply with publisher standards. All persons and characters in this book are at least 18 years of age or older"
Then, at the end of the book, I put an afterword that reads something like this:
"If you enjoyed the book and would like to have a copy of the original, uncensored version, send a screen shot of your zbookstore library page to merely.bob@gmail.com and I'll send you the original version at no additional expense."
What this does is supply proof of purchase, which is all I want. If you buy the censored version, the least I can do is send you the uncensored version, too. I'm not a publisher, so the squeaky wheel can't hassle me. What you and I do when we exchange emails is private business. And, to ensure that nobody can accuse me of sending kiddy porn based on the cover, I make sure the cover of the uncensored one displays no sexual scenes.
That works for any of my books that you bought anywhere. Just give me some kind of proof of purchase and we're good to go. And, if the screen shot you send me has other censored books on it, I'll send you those, too.
So, that's how it works. I hope this clears up any confusion.
