    He would deserve that big head. He has wrote tons of stuff that he doesn't talk about and the stuff i've seen is good. Why he doesn't say anything, hell if I know. Gav may be right. Dumb ass....

    Incoming, think i'll run for cover now...:eek:

    We don't get commission. That's for sales. Some writers receive royalties, but we have no control over the royalties we get. The publisher cuts us a check for however many they sell to bookstores. We can't choose to take a lower royalty payment in order to discount a book.

    Put it this way... if my own mother wanted a copy of the book, she'd have to go through the same bookstores you guys do.

    Well...if my mother wanted a copy of my book, I'd just send her one of the author's copies I got from the publisher. That's how I can send three copies to CF via Phoenix in London. I also sent 3 copies to Tomshawk in California for a similar contest at Tech-Unity.

    This is basically a promotional gig. The author usually gives copies of their book with the idea that the recipients will promote it in some way. The reason I keep harping on writing reviews on Amazon is that those reviews make a tremendous amount of difference in terms of sales rankings. If a book is considered successful, it's more likely the author will get other work from the same publisher (or other publishers for that matter).

    I tried to explain the entire publishing process to my cubical mate today but there's a lot to it and I stopped when I saw his eyes roll back in his head. :wink:

    They're not giving me that many copies! Hmph! :dry

    On that note, we're working on getting you a review copy. ;)

    I'll definitely write you a review.
