Re: Publish and be dumbed?

The job of a reputable publisher is to make money from the books they publish, not from the authors of those books.

If a book can't cover its costs, why should anyone publish it? The "small contribution" is neither here nor there. There are no exceptions to Yog's law. (The amount of money flowing, however, is another matter.)
