Eagles Over the Kennebec

I am so glad to hear royalty statements are better now. In the 80s your recourse to the suspicion that you were being, in a word, cheated, was to hire a lawyer and demand a reconciliation to print. That was an expensive proposition indeed to prybar out of the publisher and usually the lawyer's fees for the exercise came out far ahead of any royalties regained. Only the mega-seller authors bothered or had the resources, just to try and keep the publisher at least minimally honest to contract, although their efforts did, I believe, help start the trend toward more transparent and informative contracts.
