Depending on volumes (and who the author is), an author gets something like $0.50 for paperbacks and $3-$5 for hardcovers. I have no idea where that information came from - except that I read it within the last few weeks. Probably something either Tad Williams or Robin Hobb said. Heh, could even be this list though - growing way beyond what I'd expected. I hope I can keep up the reading. :) May you always find shade and water, Sander
