It's all in the marketing....

Alliance replied to my email. Their distribution policy is imposed on them by Bloomsbury and Madame Rowling. The "security" issue is behind it all, apparently. No, says I, making millions is behind it all. It's a marketing strategy, pure and simple. Works for them. Is highly detrimental to me.
Security! It's just a book when all is said and done, not the freaking Crown Jewels.

Security?

like you said, it is just a book.

I haven't been able to get into the Potter furor, so I can't quite understand the hullabaloo. I supposed they're afraid they couldn't control you "little people" from telling the end. Tsk.

As if I would - "here's your book and, by the way, this is how it ends."
However, I have stirred up a bit of a hornet's nest by complaining. Not that it'll get me anywhere.
