***The big houses, though? Pretty sure most of them are playing games on purpose***
Thing is, Nashira, that rights to a book might be held by different publishers in different countries (indies like my own tend to publish a single international edition). But this is a mere smoke-screen for lazy retailers with agendas of their own. There is absolutely no reason why the major retailers shouldn't get off their arses and simply open retail websites in other countries to deal with local rights in, say, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong. It's all a piece of nonsense and we're all -- readers, writers and publishers -- getting bloody tired of it. Hoots. Neil
