Never was great at math. I just took into account a title since the majority of bookstores will only order a PA book when it is requested.
But to be fair, add a few more thousand to bookstore sells and subtract that from the author bought copies. The author bought copies still comes out to be more.
The figure might not be dead on, but close enough, in a round about way.
Let HB sue me. The last I checked they had no basis to do that on. Everything I posted is accurate and can be proven. The fake mss was an attempt to see how accurate their promises were. If anybody can get sued for checking on the reliability of facts then there would be a lot of news organizations that would be sued as well.
HB, just so you know. I have a 1988 Nissan sentra. It's paid for, if you want it. You might get stranded trying to drive it to Ohio though. Come and get it, just make sure you have court documentation to prove it's yours.
I made you mad? Oh, well. I guess showing the truth will do that to some people. Plus, what basis do you have to sue me on anyway? Did I prove you were Mr. Book? Nope. Did I take away sells from your books? Nope, but even if I did I could sue you as well for the same reason. Your behavior on the PA MB could have scared potential buyers away resulting in the sell of a book. In fact I could say the same thing for PA. My book could be with a REAL publisher right now making me some money, but it's stuck at PA, because they lied to me to get me to sign with them, and now the sales are almost non existent.
If you guys want to sue me, go ahead. Appeals and counter suits can easily follow.
Have a nice day.
