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.

Wow, this was fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to go into such detail. I've always had this vague understanding of the publishing industry as being more complicated than "Step 1: Collect manuscripts, Step 3: Profit!", but I have only recently begun trying to penetrate the fog.

Now, it's still vague, but slightly less so. Thanks! ^_^
