Yes, some...but not all. About 1/4 of my Amazon wishlist disappeared with this mess, and those are titles that are all Macmillan, and all not available anywhere else. This is at least four authors and a dozen titles. Like I said, I did find Joan Hess's new title at Books on Board this morning and bought it. But - for those authors that Macmillan didn't bother to distribute anywhere but Amazon? Unless there's some sort of exclusivity for that author from Amazon that no one's talking about, (which I agree is more than possible), the lost sales of those authors is all Macmillan's fault.
