THE BOOKSTORE IS IN SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS. OVER 75% OF THE BOOKS SOLD IN THE BOOKSTORE WERE DONATED BY THE AUTHORS AND INCLUDE OVERFLOW PRINTS FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION BOXES. THE BOOKS SOLD ARE AUTOGRAPHED AND SOME HAVE EXCLUSIVE COVER ART. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE BOOKS SOLD IN THE BOOKSTORE ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN A TRADITIONAL BOOKSTORE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
