Received the twice-yearly statement from the Nice Agent Lady today. You people need to buy more books -- WINTER OAK hasn't earned out its advance yet. On the other hand, I find it somewhat frightening that over 20,000 copies of SUMMER COUNTRY are floating around out there....
And the Penguin-Putnam business model for E-books totally eludes me. They've priced the electronic versions exactly the same as a trade paperback, $14.00 for a bunch of intangible bits and bytes. No wonder they've sold a grand total of less than 40 copies in the three formats.
