The math ain’t right... 1,000 copies X $1,000 is $1 million... and if the Swimmer is getting $8 million... is this another one of those stimulus programs?
“Twelve is now planning to release the regular hardcover edition on Oct. 6, with a retail list price of $35. It is planning an initial print run of 1.5 million copies.”
I believe they are printing 3.5 million hardcover copies @ $35 oer...
No, there apparently will be a regular hardbound edition in addition to the “limited” edition leather bound version. Still to make $8,000,000 smackers in authors royalties, at about 15% of cover price of $35, you gotta sell about 1,500,000 copies. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen. Even with paperback sales. Hope the publisher’s shareholders appreciate their dividends going to Hyannisport. (Ted probably had the editors over for a clambake and a cruise around Martha’s Vineyard.)
