I know a woman who runs a publishing a business and it sounds like there
is way too much crap for them to put up with. Its little wonder that
books are so expensive these days. First of all there is the cost of
paper, ink and the presses. There are hefty shipping costs, mainly a
function on their weight. The real killer is the return cost. They have
to take back books that don't sell, and that some of those are in bad
shape. People browsing in book shops get their slimy fingers all over
the books. Then there are places like Chapters that have coffee shops
attached and cheap *******s "borrow" books and magazines from the store
and read then in the coffee shop. Then the marked up books are sent back
to the publisher.
