(gotta do this

) Anybody want any more info on the book? It's kind of a how-to on having a job, relationships (the kind with smash AND without) and social networking...I really think NT would *title acronym* with it. Anyways...

So if it ever blows up, they still own it. I paid like 150 dollars for my own ISBN which was worth it to me.

Whoa, whoa...I don't like "own the rights" at all...!%+$ that

...there's nothing else but buying the license or letting them have the rights? Don't get me wrong, I'll shell out the bread if it's that deep, but I wrote a screenplay and only paid like $25 to SGA register it, why is the book copyright so steep?

I don't normally trollbump threads, but this is some info I need firsthand...Google is telling me a few different things, how much will it cost to retain all rights to the ebook and all its intellectual properties, no questions asked? 'Preciate it in advance...
