How about we find a nice charity for the riches this
book will reep, would that make everybody happy?
Probably not.

let the List keep any (if any) proceeds.
After all we will be able to ang that we lost
millions of dollars when the book becomes a
bestseller galaxy-wide!

LET'S NOT START IMPOSING RULES NOW PLEASE!!!!
The concerns that that Bob raised are lacking in
logic somewhat.
I doubt that there'll be huge sales of the book
and in any case royalties must be split 41 ways.
If there's $1 royalties on each book and we sell
100 books, that's $2.40 each.
I suggest that anyone who feels unhappy about the
book being sold and making no royalties etc., should
pull out now so that there's no ugly money wrangling
later. I am quite happy to go with no royalties.
Let's take 2 models.
1. we impose rules about selling the book and
prevent people from selling it to bookshops or
whoever wants to buy it etc.,
2. We have a "NO RULES" attitude as originally
agreed.
In model 1
No significant quantity of books are sold due to
restrictions
RESULT: a) nobody sees our names or work. b) we
make no money out of it
In model 2
there are 2 possible scenarios.
SCENARIO 1- nobody wants to buy the book so
results are the same as a) and b) above
SCENARIO 2- The book is "Discovered" and becomes a
bestseller (Yeah RIGHT!)
In which case a) multitudes of people get to see
our names and images and we're famous. b) we still
make no money out of it directly
It's a win-win situation. Let's not get greedy
here!
Regard the book as a group business card. You
print it so people can see it. The more you get out
there the more successful it is.
If you can sell a few copies via your local book
shop or via a chain of bookshops. good for you. It's
a possibility that's equally open to all of us. If
you want to profit then you'll have to do some
selling!
