[Land-speed] Fw: 2008 BUB photobook is finished

[Dave Dahlgren]

In all due respect Ellen possibly he has not turned a profit yet... First 
you have to pay the bills then it starts turning into profit other than the 
costs of advertising paying someone to pick ship deliver by whatever 
means... This is a lot different than a fixed amount per copy sold is 
donated and insures that the person that make the generous offer does not 
only lose money on the book and ends up contributing money that is not his 
to give away but to pay creditors.. Same deal with Newman's Own donating 
profits to charities.. if there is no profit there is no donation.. Pretty 
simple business 101 to protect the person making the donation from giving 
away proceeds that should be used to pay creditors.  Look at it this way if 
the offer was 1 dollar per copy and 20000 sold the most that would be given 
would be 20000 dollars. But is the break even is 20000 copies and the profit 
10 a copy.. then the donation 90000.. a wildly generous offer..obviously an 
incentive to give the book good reviews and help promote it. This might not 
be looked at as a selfish offer on the authors part but a smart move to keep 
him out of going potentially bankrupt trying to do something nice..
