Re: A Question of Ethics

I'm not bothered about losing the royalties, Mary. You misunderstand me. It's the fact that people are looking to profiteer on copies that were never meant to be sold ... before the publication date (which is the crux of my irritation) in order to try to coerce the keenies into parting with money for something that isn't (as you quite correctly point out) the finished article. It's irritating that they are not being read, as intended by the publisher.

I've not been told what the print run was. I don't imagine it was many, which, of course, does make them all the more attractive to those who collect this sort of thing.

I'm not about to get a big grump on about the whole thing. It's just not worth it.
