It will be interesting to watch how this plays out.

Is that $50,000?

It will be interesting to watch no matter what the figure. Evanovich hasn't made a penny from me in years because I don't/can't pay that for books that give me an enjoyable 1/2 day of reading. It has to be several days of reading and worth a reread or two for me to put down serious money (serious book money, I mean. They're all cheap compared to my mortgage.) Libraries and used books are my sources for her work.
