When I'm at my local dollar store, where everything is a dollar of course, I'm a bit surprised at their book selection. They have a large selection of hardbacks for, that's right one dollar. Bargain Bin, Remainders... What I wonder is how much of that dollar is going to end up in the author's pocket. I suspect none, which is odd isn't it?
There's a representation of the author, sitting on the shelf, while the author is most likely unaware of that representation existing in the dollar store, what does it all mean I ask myself.

No, I'm envisioning administrating the site inside my head, as I'm walking around town and such.
