Once upon a time, when my second publisher who distributed through Bookmasters. Yes, I was in the bookstores, if you could call it that. They'd shelve my books for about a week and if none sold, they'd send them back to Bookmasters, (free of charge thanks to that return policy from back in the day) and my publisher would have to give back the money Barnes & Nobles had paid them PLUS pay for the shipping to return them. Then when I ordered new copies for myself from Bookmasters once, guess what I got instead. Those signed and dated copies you see on that shelf. They didn't even send me NEW books. Crooked as a ram's horn. Ah, but that's publishing for ya!
