Date: 2008-07-26 04:23 am (UTC)About fifty copies the first month, more in quarters to come. Never more than about 200 copes.
The Phaze results were disappointing. Not to mention we haven't yet gotten a trib copy of a book that came out 2 weeks ago. Yes, we have complained to our editor.
I will grumble about EC, but if I turn in a product done to house specs--no colons, all my brand names listed, a lot of my bad habits corrected--they don't edit nearly as onerously.
