Additional Comments*
|
Just a warning about the royalties they offer.
These may well be among the lowest you'll find,
especially when it comes to wholesale sales.
Remember they pay you 10% of the wholesale
price. So, for a $15.00 book that is bought by
a wholesaler at a 40% discount, you'd get only
$0.90 (10% of $9.00).
