[QUOTE="jezter6, post: 2764023, member: 6567"] Sure. Stop writing books with only 17 items in it. People may want it, but if you're THAT worried about the compilation, you are the only one that can decide if you'll make your minimum profit before it gets disseminated for free. If you don't meet that goal, don't write the product. As much as you're saying that 'people want you to write it,' that's NOT what your business model is. Your business is in it to MAKE MONEY from those who want your work. If it wasn't, then write the book for nothing. You won't do that, because you're in a business to make money. You make a nice statement about people wanting you to write, and you're being the good guy buy doing it, but again....if you aren't getting anything out of it...you're not doing it. Sadly, many gamers see a line like that and think how great it is that you're really doing it for them, when it's really just a good PR statement. (No offense intended, honestly, I'm just pointing out basic economics to some who may not realize it). [/QUOTE]
