Paid iBooks Written By Me
The Crazy Family Dogs
Click the image to buy in iTunes
This was my test iBook. I created this myself as a funny poetry book. It costs $0.99 in the Apple iBookstore. As soon as I made this book I realized that charging for money would not work really well for a school setting. That's why all our student iBooks are free. This book has not made me a millionaire by any means. If you are looking for a silly book of poetry, this is your book.
