In my opinion, paying a few bucks more per sold book (and gaining all the advantages mentioned above) is a much better deal than getting a discount on a book that's going to sit on the shelves in some store or warehouse. I can't prove it by numbers, but I can by example (look at Dell's business model). OVERHEAD OVERHEAD OVERHEAD..GEEZE I HATE OVERHEAD...(Sarcastic GRIN for Glen)..and don't confuse me with a FRIGGIN BEANCOUNTER,,,, MAN!!! Using FRIGGIN..California Welfare State as an Example..: Friggin Unemployment insurance was 1.5-3.4 percent of gross wages Friggin State Compensation insurance was 8-12 percent (depending on industry...now there is your scam, glen) Friggin FICA 7.51 percent by employer Friggin MEDICAL/DENTAL insurance ??? percent Friggin 8 percent sales tax in Sacramento County... I say...pay that Marketing Bonus Expense for that internal Marketing...and save all the Friggin BLAH Blah blah...dARE i SAY THE t-wORD..... ....tear this apart..Glen Baby...I am no BEANYcounter BABY... GOD BLESS AMERICA...
