I am disappointed by all the "independent" booksellers on eBay whose items are then mysteriously delivered direct from Amazon. Sheesh - who can you trust nowadays?
Although my subsequent publishers hold copies, I am the sole stockholder for all my Peterloo volumes and if anyone orders one in a bookshop, the shop goes to Nielsen Bookdata, who send the order through to me. I am required to give a discount that is greater than the author discount when I purchased them and I have to pay the shipping to the shop. It therefore costs me money. No yoke.
