bargin books

I just love it when I can find the books I am waiting for on a bargain self, or page. You can get a hard back for less then the paper back. Some times way before the pack back makes it appreance. you can save any where from 40-70 percent of list price. A big help to the pocketbook. I know authors work hard and deserve their money. every penny of it. But do you, imaginary reader, know that the writers only get a small percentage of that list price? And that it is a % of the list price not the sale price(around 10-20%, from witch the agent then takes thiers)? At least with the regular books, the discount comes from the stores share and what ever they have with the pup. It dose not affect the authors share. I do not know what the deal is with bargin books, but even so it can't be any worse for the writer than buying them used. They get no money for used books. Not that there is anything wrong with buying them used. heck a used book can drive up sales of the writes other books and it is way better to share then to destroy. And used books are a big help to the wallet to. I no longer know what the point of this was. Any way I Love the fact that I got one of my wait books and a few I did not know of coming to me, with a couple others I couldn't find in store. So nice to have the net. makes it easier to shop with out a car.

In onter news there is only 98 days tell NANO do you know what you will be writing??????? I have no idea, or reather to many ideas. but somthing will make its way onto the page come nov. no fear.

edit to add that resurch shows that barging works like used. as in the writers will see none, but even so it is better that the book be read than wasted?
