Why should books cost $30-40 dollars? Authors make way to much in royalites, as do publishers, and bookstores..Let's have a fair price..

MY BOOK ADVANCE WAS NOT EXCESSIVE!

As a side note...many authors fail to even earn back their advances, let alone make a buck off of royalties. I am aspiring to be a published writer, and the research I have done tells me that's pretty much the industry standard...with most first books, esp. Unless you are already famous -or infamous!-, write about controversial or current topics, or already an established author, you really can't hope to make much. (Unless you wanna crank out cheesy romance novels, lol!) Publishers and booksellers are a different kettle of fish altogether.
