Are you saying that you place the order (for say 3,000 copies) with the printer and then hope and wait it matches up with demand from retailers? So, do you pay for storage for copies yet to be sold or do you just rely on fixed sales to the distributors? Sorry, if I am not knowledgeable about all of this, but it is all very interesting.Also, what do the four people who have interest in your company do? If it was 100% owned by one person, do you think that person could make a living going at it full-time or do you always need that extra help?   About this part: THG Hal-- "As far as new releases only at your store, we agree backlist sales are slowing down which is why we are producing the 'right' amount to make this company financially sound, that is why a vanity press mentality may get people in trouble."I didn't understand it. Do you mean a vanity press company would just order 10,000 copies just for the sake fo flooding the market? Or do you mean a one-shot wonder won't make it in this business?</blockquote>
