I can understand how "buying a book that doesn't earn out doesn't put money in the author's pocket" argument. You know....if making specious arguments was the point.

But if "supporting the artist you enjoy" is the point....then buying his book to HELP him more than earn out....still matters. If he/she doesn't earn out then their chance of getting the next pre-payment goes down.

So we are back to "if you want your favorite authors to write books" then "buy the d@mn book" is still the logical plan of action.

If you can. (none of this has ever been aimed at the poor)
