The author gets the standard 10% through 5,000 copies sold, and 12.5% for the 5,000 after that, and 15% thereafter. This means the author makes $2.50 per copy through the first 5,000 copies sold, and then $3.12 per copy on the next 5,000 copies sold. This particular project sells 8,000 copies, which means Rygel makes a total of $40,547.50 on the hardcover sales alone.
If it sells 8000 copies, wouldn't that be 5000 at $2.50, or $12,500, plus 3000 at $3.12, or $9,360, for $21,860 total? Or am I missing something?
