At present, however, I don't think the Net is a very good medium for books, books should really be inexpensive lightweight paperbacks you can bang around.
Books should cost less and they should be digital.
That wasn't a bad price for a first book. My agent upped it as much as possible. I was 27 and had nothing behind me. I was working like a fool to earn a living and pay for my apartment.
I don't like it when I see my books sold cheaply.
The mass-market paperback, for one, is too expensive.
Hard-covered books break up friendships. You loan a hard covered book to a friend and when he doesn’t return it you get mad at him. It makes you mean and petty. But twenty-five cent books are different.
The cheaper books become, the less money is spent on books.
The royalty any author gets is dependent on his track record and marketability and often on the price of his book, too. The higher you price a book, the more comfortable your publisher will be in paying you a higher royalty.
I recently bought a book of free verse. For twelve dollars.
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
