Not sure that any of it will go to me at this point: right now I'm about $350 ahead, in that I got paid on the basis of having sold approximately 1,250 at about a dollar a copy, whereas with so many returns the real number sold so far is only around 900 (I'm not counting hardcover, where I have to sell something like 500 before I start getting any royalties). So getting credited for about a quarter a copy through the sale, the book would have to move something like another 1,400 units before I'd see any pennies pouring in. Obviously this isn't going to happen. But the press has treated me well, so they deserve the money, and a spurt of sales would make them more likely to say yes to any further proposals of mine.
