Good Luck with the success of the New Book, it looks interesting, and may be worth a read in the near future, for me anyway.

Personally, I think you both ought to sign a couple of copies and send them to me and Jeff to review. The usual tenner inside the dust cover each should ensure a half decent thumbs up :wh
Now, if I'd have though of that Geoff I would have saved myself almost £20 plus P&P.
Dammittt!!!!!!

Amazon are selling the book from as low as £12.66p New, which is a bargain in that respect.
Yes, but 2 weeks ago they were Out of Stock - Limited Quantity it said . . .
So, I got mine from the publisher at the damn full price . . . . . .
Do you think that the Authors might offer to refund me the difference?
Nah, thought not . . . . .

Buy the cheap one, then sell yours as new on Ebay, for £19.99p some idiot will offer you more for it, i'm sure (no, i don't want it)

Amazon sell the book cheaper than the author can buy copies from the publisher.

SV said "Amazon are selling the book from as low as £12.66p New, which is a bargain in that respect".
Plus £2.75 postage.
Amazon themselves selling at £15.54, free postage.
How much does Graham and Mark get out of a sale? Do they get more when bought at top price?

Without divulging the exact terms of our contract etc. the way it works is this: authors earn royalties on a percentage of the net price which is the amount the publisher receives not the actual selling price. But Amazon demand and get a bigger discount on full price than an ordinary retailer so that sales through Amazon earn less royalties than book shop sales. So variances in Amazon's price don't affect the royalties earnt as they are paying a fixed percentage price of full retail.
In addition publishers make an advance payment of royalties that has to be 'earnt' before any more royalties are paid. This is obviously based on projected print run and potential sales. Generally fishing book advances are very small compared to the headline best seller advances though occasionally big publishers get it wrong vis a vis David Blunkett's autobiography which had an advance of £400,000 yet hardly sold at all.

Ah yes, David Blunkett; the only politician ever to resign giving the reason that:
"he wanted to spend more time with someone elses family"
