Is this _really_ true? Or did you just gloss over it in the contract? In almost every book deal I'm familiar with, the terms and conditions of books you can buy are clearly spelled out. In quite some detail. For instance, many houses do not count books bought by the author as part of the royalties bank. In other words, you buy, say, 50 books, earning the same discount as a book dealer who buys that many. However, the 50 he buys pay you a royalty. The 50 you buy do not.

The point is, that kind of deal is clearly spelled out in the contract.
