Dr. Gibbs where are you comming from? I agree that an artist should be paid for his work but the publisher has a lot less tied up in the process when the book is not printed. Yes there is some over head to be covered but come on. The price of paper backs is out of control...If I have to pay 8 or 9 bucks for a paper back I would rather spend an extra 13 or so and get a Hard Back. E-books will never repalce a good old book but they sure are convient on a plane or anywhere away from home. And you can bet there are very few book writers getting rich these days.
