Yes, I call that the "because we can" fee, and when I'm shopping for a car the first thing I tell the salesman is "We begin by taking that off." If he/she is unwilling to do that, I just move on and save myself the time and angst of bickering.

Those are very tacky and we don't want book signings to look like car shows. Publishing agencies shouldn't use models anyway. I support the lawsuit. |

Interesting thread, informative. How much of this publishers and authors protecting their traditional distribution channels and ways authors compensation is determined? With small bookstores decimated and ebooks and online channels immature, maybe anew model is needed.
