To Become Rich The edit or of the Clinton News. Record wrote. the .following , article following widespread comment that the author of the book "The Trial of 'Steven'Truscott” was "outl for the money". The'Clinton writer's article is:.worth thinking about.. It . read: In case you are planning to • write a book "like Isabel, Lebour- dais did" and Make a bundle • of'cash from it, perhaps a little arithmetic on some known facts • will beiinteresting. • In the first place consider the several trips she made 'from Tor-, Onto to this area to obtain inform- ' anon.' Then consider the re-' search she did into the transcript of the trial, other books on foren= sic medicine laws. etc.. and bear in mind the tremendous amount of time spent in reading, •; re -reading and checking all of this material.' Keep these facts • in; mind, and remember that she worked on the project for some- thing over three years before having a manuscript ready for • publication.' �. Tow the arithmetic: According to an excellent. source (article by William French in the Globe and Mail late in March), Mrs. Lettourdais' ,royal- ties are'7 1/2 percent on Canact :' Tan sales, Based on the retails price of $2.60 for a •paperback, and the fact that some 40,000 copies are: printed, and presuming that they, all'sell', this would'. mean; a total income of $7,,500. In England she -can count on ten per cent of the first 7,500 copies sold, '.or $1.875; plusfifteen per- cent of any other - sales. •(provided the book retails for a similar. amount), The same situtation prevails in .the United States, 'where public - adonis expected this. August, by 'Lippincj tt:' Since it's highly unlikely that these percentages should really be .based on the retail price, and shou- ld have • been figured on something less than that, you can see that Mrs; LeBourdals is not apt to be- come retiringly rich out of•this book: Income tax , • too, •of course. 630 Westview Ave...
