P&Ls and how books make (or don't) money

Profit & Loss/Profitability & Liability: How Books Make (or Don't Make!) Money

A basic outline of what happens when an editor buys a book and wants to publish it. This is very much a basic look at publishing and publishing finance, with some explanation of terms commonly used by the marketing and sales departments.

Well, as a reseller of some TOR books to the school market, when we buy the books we're paying freight on a collect account.

Great explanation, I'm totally sending everyone who comes to me begging, "oh you're in publishing/the book business, here's my manuscript" over to your site... expect lots of hits.
