To Ronald Epp Hi Ron: I am sorry that I have been a bottleneck for formalizing our relationship around the second printing through a formal M.O.U. I am also sorry to hear about your thumb and wrist sprains! A friend just broke her wrist cross-country skiing on the carriage roads the hazards of winter! We are currently enjoying a nice blanket of about 10" of powdery snow throughout the park. To be honest, the trust and good-will and personal generosity and commitment that you and Aimee personified and that carried the book through to completion is and was so significant, I have without doubt been delaying any "negotiation" needed on this second printing! Your willingness to underwrite the first edition with generous charitable gifts and foregoing any royalties was absolutely essential to the book's publication. FOA in turn stepped forward in good faith to pay for the second printing - 1,000 copies at $12 per copy for a total of $12,000 at Aimee's recommendation. Unfortunately, the costs of printing were NOT reduced in the second printing; and Aimee also recommended strongly that we not increase the cover sale price of $20. Therefore, taking into account our outlay for the printing, FOA's net revenue for book-sales going forward is going to be zero (assuming most will be sold to Shermans or Eastern National at a 40% discount or $12. I fully understand your desire to share royalties - but might we consider something closer to the industry standard of 15%? If so, I am glad to have that applied against your more liberal definition of net revenue that seems to in fact simply mean all sales proceeds through conventional channels. Might we also have the MOU do the accounting on an annual basis, instead of semi-annual? My goal is to do all I can to minimize FOA staff overhead and administration on the project. Such an arrangement will mean that FOA will never fully recoup its $12,000 outlay for printing but that is not the point. The point is to keep this important book available to the public at a time when interest in Acadia is at an all-time high and understanding of its history is particularly important. This brings me to your final point about Amazon. Again, this would serve the goal of giving the book more exposure and making it more readily available to a world-wide audience. I am reluctant, however, to commit the FOA staff resources needed to fill orders, do shipping, etc. We also run the risk of undermining our local friends at Shermans and Eastern National, who have been our best partners on sales. I'd love to discuss these pros and cons with you to see if you see other ways to navigate these issues. With your input on the above issues, I think we can finalize the MOU. Admittedly, the goals here go well beyond traditional "business decisions," so I welcome your feedback and additional information to help present a complete and current picture of the partnership. Good luck with the closing and move! And let me know a time that would work well for you to schedule a call. Many thanks, David David MacDonald, President & CEO Friends of Acadia P.O.

Dear David, I hope you and yours have been well in this New Year. As I keyboard this message with a sprained right thumb and wrist, I am reminded that relocation to my new home in CT has its rewards and risks. I close next Monday and move on the 19th. So with this limitation brought on by moving far too many boxes of books and files, I will keep this brief. It has been ten weeks since I sent the original MOU draft to you for consideration. I would like to bring this issue to some mutually agreeable conclusion, modify distribution so that it is marketed through Amazon to an Internet-based audience, resolve the issue of royalties, and restore the routine reporting of sales and revenues. In your most recent editorial in the FOA Journal, you referenced the power of "the cumulative impact of individual voices when they come together through Friends of Acadia." Simply put, it is my belief that the Dorr book is one of those voices uniquely conveying both historical meaning and inspiration for the current and future challenges ahead. Let us work together to get this impasse behind us. Please note address change. Best, Ron Ronald H.

Beginning with the June 2017 second printing, the typical costs associated with the production of the first printing (outsourced printing and binding) are reduced thereby increasing as a percentage the per item return. Profitability is also increased because the author assigned to the publisher for the first printing all royalties as a charitable donation. With this second printing a royalty of forty percent of the publishers net revenue per annum is provided to the author. Net revenue means the sale of any and all copies sold through the conventional channels with the book trade, excluding promotional and review copies. Friends of Acadia will provide semi-annual statements of account and make payments before April first and October first of each year covering sales (less returns) to the preceding January first and July first respectively. Subsequent printings will be negotiated with the author. In the event of the author's death prior to a new printing, the original MOU will apply and all royalties will be assigned to Friends of Acadia for all subsequent printings. The publisher will bear warehousing expenses, manage the distribution process, and market the book in good faith in accordance with practices established by the former Director of Communications. Sale of the book at a rate less than what is usual or customary to a third party ( e.g., Amazon), will reduce the referenced royalties by one half. This decision will require approval of publisher and author. The publisher agrees to continue the policy of selling at the library rate to the author copies for resale at events where he is speaking about issues arising in the book.

When do you take up residence? What will the new address be? Second, I have asked Mel to follow up about the MDI BioLab history. We had had some conversation about his doing a talk here, but I think we couldn't find a date that summer. I assume Mel is in touch with him about this summer. (Mel is now working full time on our programming. We are in the process of hiring a full-time development director.) Third, when will you next be here? I also wanted to let you know that we will be having our big whoop-de-do with Senator Mitchell hosting an event for us on Saturday, August 4th. I am hoping your summer plans can accommodate that. And, finally, is there a publication date for your next work? Inquiring minds here have asked me. Thanks, Ruth Ruth A. Eveland Director Jesup Memorial Library 34 Mt.

Now our first detailed analysis tackles today's inadequate e-book royalties. At the heart of our concern with the unfair industry-standard e-book royalty rate is its failure to treat authors as full partners in the publishing enterprise. This will be a resounding theme in our initiative; it's what's wrong with many of the one-sided "standard" clauses we'll be examining in future installments. Traditionally, the author-publisher partnership was an equal one. Authors earned around 50% of their books' profits. That equal split is reflected in the traditional hardcover royalty of 15% of list (cover price, that is, not the much lower wholesale price), and in the 50-50 split of publishers' earnings from selling paperback, book club, or reprint rights. Authors generally received an even larger share than the publisher for non-print rights (such as stage and screen rights) and foreign rights. But today's standard contracts give authors just 25% of the publisher's "net receipts" (more or less what the publisher collects from a book sale) for e-book royalties. That doesn't look like a partnership to us. We maintain that a 50-50 split in e-book profits is fair because the traditional author-publisher relationship is essentially a joint venture. The author writes the book, and by any fair measure the author's efforts represent most of the labor invested and most of the resulting value. The publisher, like a venture capitalist, invests in the author's work by paying an advance so the author can make ends meet while the book gets finished. Generally, the publisher also provides editing, marketing, packaging, and distribution services. In return for fronting the financial risk and providing these services, the publisher gets to share in the book's profits. Not a bad deal. This worked well enough throughout much of the twentieth century: publishers prospered and authors had a decent shot at earning a living. How the e-book rate evolved From the mid-1990s, when e-book provisions regularly began appearing in contracts, until around 2004, e-royalties varied wildly. Many of the e-rates at major publishing houses were shockingly low-less than 10% of net receipts-and some were at 50%. Some standard contracts left them open to negotiation. As the years passed, and especially between 2000 and 2004, many publishers paid authors 50% of their net receipts from e-book sales, in keeping with the idea that authors and publishers were equal partners in the book business. In 2004, we saw a hint of things to come. Random House, which had previously paid 50% of its revenues for e-book sales, anticipated the coming boom in e-book sales and cut its e-rates significantly. Other publishers followed, and gradually e-royalties began to coalesce around 25% By 2010 it was clear that publishers had successfully tipped the scales on the longstanding partnership between author and publisher to achieve a 75-25 balance in their favor. The lowball e-royalty was inequitable, but initially it didn't have much effect on authors' bottom lines. As late as 2009, e-books accounted for a paltry 3-5% of book sales. Authors and agents ought to have pushed back, but with e-book sales SO low it didn't make much sense to risk the chance of any individual book deal falling apart over e-royalties. We called the 25% rate a "low-water mark." We said, "Once the digital market gets large enough, authors with strong sales records won't put up with this: they'll go where they'll once again be paid as full partners in the exploitation of their creative work." E-books now represent 25-30% of all adult trade book sales, but for the vast majority of authors the rate remains unchanged. If anything, publishers have dug in their heels. Why? There's a contractual roadblock, for one: major book publishers have agreed to include "most favored nation" clauses in thousands of existing contracts. These clauses require automatic adjustment or renegotiation of e-book royalties if the publisher changes its standard royalty rate, giving publishers a strong incentive to maintain the status quo. And the increasing consolidation of the book industry has drastically reduced competition among publishers, allowing them more than ever to hand authors "take it or leave it" deals in the expectation that the author won't find a better offer. The elephant in the room And then there's the elephant in the room: Amazon, which has used its e-book dominance to demand steep discounts from publishers and drive down the price of frontlist e-books, even selling them at a loss. As a result, there's simply not as much e-book revenue to split as there was in 2011 when we reported on the e-book royalty math. At that time, publishers made a killing on frontlist e-book sales as compared to frontlist hardcover sales-at the author's expense-because, as compared to today, the price of e-books was relatively high. When we analyzed e-royalties for three books in the 2011 post, "E-Book Royalty Math: The House Always Wins," (https://www.authorsguild.org/industry-advocacy/e-book-royalty-math- the-house-always-wins-2/) we found that every time an e-book was sold in place of a hardcover, the author's take decreased substantially, while the publisher's take increased. Since 2011, we have found that publishers' e-gains have diminished. But the author's share has fallen even farther. Amazon has squeezed the publishers, to be sure. The publishers have helped recoup their losses by passing them on to their authors. These were our calculations for several books in 2011. The trend was obvious. Compared with hardcovers, each e-book sold brought big gains to the publisher and sizable losses to the author when the author's royalties are compared to the publisher's gross profit (income per copy minus expenses per copy), calculated using industry-standard contract terms: Author's Royalty vs. Publisher's Profit, 2011 The Help, by Kathryn Stockett Author's Standard Royalty: $3.75 hardcover; $2.28 e-book Author's E-Loss = -39% Publisher's Margin: $4.75 hardcover; $6.32 e-book. Publisher's E-Gain = +33% Hell's Corner, by David Baldacci Author's Standard Royalty: $4.20 hardcover; $2.63 e-book. Author's E-Loss = -37% Publisher's Margin: $5.80 hardcover; $7.37 e-book. Publisher's E-Gain = +27% Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand Author's Standard Royalty: $4.05 hardcover; $3.38 e-book. Author's E-Loss = -17% Publisher's Margin: $5.45 hardcover; $9.62 e-book. Publisher's E-Gain = +77% What's happening now? We ran the numbers again using the following recent bestsellers. Because of lower e-book prices, the publishers don't do as well as they used to, though they still come out ahead when consumers choose e-books over hardcovers. But authors fare worse than ever: Author's Royalty vs. Publisher's Profit, 2015 All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doer Author's Standard Royalty: $4.04 hardcover; $2.09 e-book. Author's E-Loss= -48% Publisher's Margin: $5.44 hardcover; $5.80 e-book. Publisher's E-Gain: +7% Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande Author's Standard Royalty: $3.90 hardcover; $1.92 e-book. Author's E-Loss= -51% Publisher's Margin: $5.10 hardcover; $5.27 e-book. https://www.authorsguild.org/industry-advocacy/half-of-net-proceeds-is-the-fair-royalty-rate-for-e-books/ 2/4 11/13/2017 XFINITY Connect Creating Acadia N.P.

Now that it's on his site, it is also automatically listed under his online banner on Amazon, Biblio, Alibris and Abebooks. With Sherman's and the page on our site, it can now be found online on seven websites and can be purchased online on six. That should provide some pretty good exposure.

Hope I get at Boar Island soon or I will not have much to add in the next book club get-together!! I have been translating into French the Saint Croix website yikes Joan
