Booksellers “carry” utter shit.

Guess what they do when the book is refunded by the publisher due to bad sales? They cut off the covers and send them back as proof. The pages are destroyed. Nobody bats an eye.

No publisher or bookseller wants to carry 50000 copies of Joe Bob’s “How to cook maggots” when it flopped

Also how do you know if my fanfic is a physical book sold at a store or not? 😀

Rare doesn’t automatically imply valuable, useful or anything like that.

My Anthony Fauci x Drowsy Don fanfic is “rare”, but nobody including me would bat an eye if it was destroyed.
