He can write these damn books about me, but he’s got to give some of the dough he makes to orphans and Boy Scouts. That’s ok with me.

But first he’s got to get paid for selling some books.

I’m discovering that this publishing game is nothing more than another racket. Everybody wants a piece of the pie. The Publisher who prints the books gets his cut. The distributor who takes the books from the printer is nothing but a middleman. He gets a cut for taking the books to places like Amazon and Borders. And Amazon and Borders all get a cut for putting the books on sale.

At the end of the day you know what Kaplan gets? He gets the short end of that stick. He’s a sucker if you ask me.
