Book 'The Immortal A7'

[Andy Bennett]

I also have a friend who is a best selling children's author. Her books are printed in tens of thousands. She gets about £1book including her agent fees, plus less than £1 to produce in China, the rest is soaked up in marketing, distribution and sellers margins, to a hardback list price of £10 or so. There are therefore plenty of opportunities  to drop prices to the floor and still cover costs and a small profit, or sell at £10 and make an obscene profit margin.
Life was so much simpler in the 30s and not just with cars.
