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.

Awww, no. I love Aeryn! She just needed to find the right niche to write in.

My sister is in library school right now. Her main complaint is that they aren't learning anything about the "real" world -- they're learning how to build websites and do basic things in Excel. Poor kid.

Hee! Hope she gets to more interesting stuff soon. I loved cataloguing & collection development, but then I am a nerd.
