It might have to ship as late as BoPow #1 itself, but we at least already have those mini-posters in place.<BR/><BR/>Don't know that we want to try a lower price point on BoPow #1. With JMS and Finch on it, it's not going to be cheap to produce as it is. <BR/><BR/>Also, I don't think it should be over/extra/giant-sized at all. This book is going to be REALLY tight, schedule-wise at the outset and I don't want to add a bunch of variables to the mix unnecessarily. That's just going to cause problems and additional complications.<BR/><BR/>As for Bachs, I'll start by offering him an exclusive, which would give him a page raise inherently. If he's not in for that, I'd still be willing to get him a raise, but it obviously wouldn't be as much as if it took the exclusive.

Of course, they've done it through proper and cordial channels.

Can we balance (hah!) that out with additional ad space in the book?Michael Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681828051904902975noreply@blogger.com
