That's fine. I just thought that was curious, that you only put out paperbacks, when I just learned that most royalties come from hardbacks, not paperbacks.

I'm sure it is all worked out, though.

Just remind me when you're up here--it's only a month away! Basically, what it boils down to, is that it's smaller percentages because the profit margin is smaller (I believe--I could have that wrong, as I'm still new at this).
