On May 6 I blogged (complained) about the Guerrilla Guide Recording and Production and the ridiculous eight month on-sale period. Yesterday, having sold no copies in three months, it was time for this title to go. We have carried the financial risk, provided our real estate and labour for no return. This title has been a dud.
I am sure other newsagents are in this same position. We need to set a price for access to our network. We need to be firm in applying this. Such a fee, for titles outside the top 200, would reduce the volume of loss making titles we receive.
I had 3 copies on my shelf from the beginning, but finally sold one 2 days ago.
i sent them back on the next lot of returns no way would they have sold where i am .
