@Ira NaymanHaving worked for three NY-based publishing houses, I can say if 80 percent of all the books they printed were returned, they’d be out of business. They do expect returns, but the average number of books that are unsold (returns, giveaway copies for reviews, books that never leave the warehouse) is closer to 20 percent per title. (This is not to say there aren’t books that do have a sell-through rate of closer to 20 percent, but those are more the exception than the rule.)
That would be a great idea if “Second Chances” could go into reruns (and why not — Yahoo Comics is showing the defunct Big Top). I’ve had to survive on the printouts I made of the strip for its last year.
