Actually my books ARE returnable!!! Just not "industry" standard returnable. In other words you may talk with my publisher and they'll be glad to work out a return policy that suits both parties.
I know, right?
You buy any of my books and you can return them if they don't sell. Talk to my publisher about details. I'm sure they can work something out. Perhaps they'll pay the shipping to your store and back should you want to return them. Or maybe they'll require you to keep them for a set period of time before you return them. Of course the books will have to be in a resellable condition and you'll have to pay for them up front. And you'll definitely have to pay for unreasonable damage should there be any. Feel free to discuss that further with my publisher. ;)
Yeah, something like that.
I'll wager a bet that there will be very few if any calls to my publisher regarding this. That's okay but if someone doesn't change the "industry" standard on returns, the big dog publishers are going to take us all down. That stupid policy no longer helps them either but it at least keeps their competition from getting ahead of them--for now. Wake up and smell the coffee folks. Please.
