Is overhead figured into the base price of a book?
No. We cover overhead costs (running this website, promotion, etc.) out of pocket. Our base prices are based solely on the direct costs to us for the specific book you are purchasing – we don’t even account for promo copies, the cost of isbn numbers, printer set-up fees, or anything like that in the math. The base price may be off a fraction of a cent due to the math, but that can go both ways and sometimes we might even lose money per book sale. And anything extra we might send you (a cool bookmark, for example) is on us and not figured into base cost.
