There's something really messed up if you don't care about the person from whom you're reading several hundred pages.

- chc 15y agoThat's less messed up than if you don't care about the thousands of people for whom you're writing several hundred pages. When you start telling people, "You should be happy to pay me an arbitrarily high price," that's your failure as a businessman. Unless your work is truly breathtaking, there's probably another author about as good as you who will sell his book at the price the market dictates. Your potential readers will be his actual readers, and thus they will care more about him than you.
- mikecane 15y agoThis is a marketplace transaction. "Care" has no place in it other than delivering a product people will pay for. Ideally one properly formatted and without typos. (I'm not going talk about writing because all bets are off there.)
