Many see the publisher as the bad guy here when really Amazon is just as guilty, if not more so.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-59575019659137561932015-04-08T08:17:13.097-07:002015-04-08T08:17:13.097-07:00You hit it spot on!
