Yeahm, they can get copies through SPD, but very very little comes back to the press. I'm beginning to think of leaving them altogether. The customers I've lost to them--all of my major customers--would almost certainly come back to me. The economics of the industry become more and more dire. Consider this--Amazon demands a 55% discount, and SPD and I split the difference, less my shelving costs and shipping. Which means I lose money on each copy sold that way. It looks like the all-digital future approaches faster than we expected. Long and short, I don't tell people to order from SPD and neither should you. Most folks can wait a couple of months. The books will go out by Monday. Mark At 07:03 PM 6/11/2008, you wrote: >Hi Mark: > > Sounds like a good trip coming up.
