Re: [GWL]: Selling books at big box stores

My understanding of the books at big box stores is that there will already
be something in the contract that covers this sort of thing. The royalty
rate on these books will be very low, since these stores buy them at
incredible discounts. BUT, it does help move books, and increases the number
sold. I suspect they also sell some books that are remaindered.
