Hardbacks and Paperbacks
From the department of we-can-get-away-with-it.
Once an author becomes famous or has written a best seller, his or her next book will be eagerly anticipated. When this new book arrives onto our bookstores’ shelves you find that it’s in hardback. Anyone can tell you that hardbacks cost a lot more than paperbacks. And if you want to wait for the paperback you could wait up to a year.
The more you think about it, the stranger it becomes. That’s two separate print runs, two separate sets of distribution and two separate marketing campaigns.
Doesn’t it seem odd that even though hardbacks are more expensive and makes the paperback product look less appealing to our everyday consumer it’s actually a way of squeezing more money out of people who just can’t wait to read these new books and that usually means more money for the book sellers, publishing houses and the authors.
The Internet Is So Full Of Scripts
From the department of we-can’t-admit-to-anything.
Some people still don’t get it.
There are literally thousands of CGI, PHP and ASP scripts available on the web today that are designed to help you build and develop a web site with functionality and appeal.
And the brutal truth is that there are many companies charging exorbitant rates are using these very same scripts. But why should they tell you? They are running a business too, and it’s in their best interests to keep their secrets in order to continue making money off you.
