Consider this. If you hide just one or two copies of your dreadfully written book in some safe location, they will become exceedingly rare after all the others have been destroyed. Word can then be leaked out that one or two copes are still in existence...........somewhere! They will become incredibly valuable, more valuable in all probability than the price of entire original print run. You wait for about a year while the value goes up and up! Then you auction one copy off and make enough money not just to retire, but to buy an island in the Caribbean, a yacht, a Lear jet, a mansion, and all the kind of stuff that Penelope Rutledge takes for granted.

This is how fortunes are made!
