A bit more irritating to fellow publishers (sour grapes) because this publisher didn’t have to fork out actual cash for their own books. Feel sorry for the stores taking the orders with no hope of actual sales.

> Feel sorry for the stores taking the orders with no hope of actual sales.

Since it's not clear if the book has actually even been published, I'm not sure those orders would ever be fulfilled.

Yeah, but some poor sap at the book store has to deal with this crap. Paper cuts add up.
