Springer's Progress

[Mark Kohut]

nice sale....
  If the publisher inititiated the remainder sale, they will get around 50% of every dollar (minus distribution costs)
  If the store self-remaindered the books---unusual if it is all one line----then the publisher
  has gotten 50% of the full list price already.
   
  books cost between a dollar or two to print.....
   
  What is sad news in general, of course, is that Dalkey Archive could not sell these books at
  full price.......

  I would like to hear some comments on this from people on here.  Perhaps I missed previous discussions, apologies if that is the case.

Personally I have been enjoying it so far, but I have my doubts as well regarding the style.  Regardless, Markson is always an enjoyable read.  The Harvard Bookstore at the moment has this, plus Mulligan Stew, plus a good handful of other Dalkey Archive books on remainder.  4-5 bucks a book.  I wonder how much of the money from remainders a publisher sees, I do hope they get some sort of profit, if meager.
