Although the publisher sent one million copies of 'Hard Choices' to stores,

Any guesstimates as to what the production & distribution costs of 1,000,000 books would be?

Does anyone know what the margin is per book? How much does a publisher like this make per book, and how many copies would they have to sell to cover the $14m ‘advance’? Also, calling it an ‘advance’ means that it is basically front-loaded royalties. If the book doesn’t even sell a million copies, does she have to give the money back?
