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.
