Hmm he says he earns 2 dollars if we buy all three books so thats 2
dollars
for every book he sells. Now on amazon I counted 20 plus starwars books
that
he says sell between 250,000 and 500,000 copies let us assume a low
sales of
an average of 300,000 per book or 200,000 dollars income for each novel
with
20 novels thats $4,000,000 dollars isn't it just on his starwars novels.
Dire straits. Dire straits indeed!!
