Absolutely. It's a crazy but inevitable part of the biz.

> > I don't have a problem accepting returns -- is TWC set up to do that, or allow the author/publisher to do it? In other words, if you were to send an order to B&T or Ingram would there be an understanding that either the author (me) or TWC would accept the returns?

Yep. Our contracts specify that returns are acceptable, and we handle the returns that come back from wholesalers on your behalf. Amazon will send returns directly to you, as will any local independent bookstore that buys directly from you as well.

Best,
