Accessibility statement

This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That commitment is in the markup itself, not in a plug-in layered over it.

What that means here

Every image carries descriptive alternative text.
One h1 per page and no skipped heading levels, so screen-reader users can navigate by structure.
A skip-to-content link, and semantic landmarks throughout.
Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a clearly visible focus indicator.
Links describe their own destination. Buy links name their book rather than repeating "Buy Now" nine times.
Text contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1, and most of it exceeds 6:1.
Animation is disabled entirely for anyone whose system requests reduced motion.
Embedded videos do not load or contact YouTube until you choose to play them.
The page reflows to a single column and remains usable at 200% zoom.

No accessibility overlay

This site deliberately does not use an accessibility overlay, widget, or toolbar. Those products are marketed as one-line fixes for compliance. In January 2025 the Federal Trade Commission ordered the largest overlay vendor to pay $1 million to settle allegations that its claims about making sites conform to WCAG were false, misleading, or unsubstantiated. Courts have not treated overlay installation as evidence of accessibility. Fixing the underlying code is the approach that actually works, so that is the approach taken here.

Known limitations

Cover images link out to Amazon, whose product pages are outside this site's control. Video playback happens on YouTube's player once started. Web fonts are served by Google Fonts; if that service is blocked, the page falls back to system fonts and remains fully readable.

Reporting a barrier

If any part of this site is difficult to use, that is worth knowing about and it will be fixed. Reports are welcome through the author's Amazon author page until a direct contact address is published here.
