Not seeing where the books came from in any of the accounts of book burnings, but even if they’re in a bookstore, the publisher’s already got the money, as has the author. It’s all performative nonsense either way.
Anyway, just for educational purposes. Bookstores usually not just buy books in bulk and hope not to go bankrupt for a bad purchase. They do not take all the risk. When books are bought by a bookstore contracts are made, usually the store pay the publisher after a set amount of time, and if books are not sold, they return the books to the publisher. Contract between publisher and author tend to imply a percentage of sells, so if that books were not sold author won’t see the money either.
In this case if books are burn by a mob, the bookstore might just not be able to pay the publisher, so the publisher won’t be able to pay the author.
Not to even begin with editions and batches. A bookstore won’t buy all the books they pretend to sell on a single batch, they will be buying by batches. If at some point they get raided they just will stop trying to buy more batches. Same fron publisher perspective with editions. They will print out more editions depending on the sales. If a book is not being sold, because it’s being burned, they won’t print more editions. No more editions = no money to author either.
People burning books usually burn other people’s books, not their own.
:shrug: Someone bought them.
Not necessarily. They could go to the store and burn all the stock of one particular book.
