While we're (loosely) on the subject: book club editions. Someone somewhere 
(probably a different list with no authors in residence) mentioned that 
when you buy a CD from a music club, the disc isn't counted towards the 
disc's sales in terms of royalties, so you're arguably stealing from the 
band. Are book club editions of books treated the same way?
