Wow, so, thats what you guys think....

If I had paid for the books to be published, I'd make a lot more money, but I would have had to come up with about $50,000 for 2100 books. No way I could afford it.

So, the publisher takes the chance, makes more money and I pocket 5% (thats $3.50 if the book sells at full value); so I make around $200 a year on the books.

The Bring Back Books are fun Harry, but jeez, i am glad that you specifically brought them up as an example of books you think are stupid.
