Does anyone know if all books listed on Internet Bookshops sites are actually virtual sales that have not yet taken place.
I recently was subjected to this through my book which appeared in an auction on Ebay selling 25 books and it turned out to be a virtual sale where the bookseller was trying to drum up business before he bought the books, and as it turned out he was asking impossible prices, so the auction sale did not take place.
If this is the case then authors are well recommended not to count their chickens before they are hatched!
