But I still presumed, up until the contract was signed, that I wasn’t going to get it. I thought someone else would come in and swoop it away. There was no reason Beaufort would get it, because I wasn’t offering an advance. … The model that we used with the Goldman family was essentially a [traditional] publishing model without the advance. And the royalty was actually better than the 15 percent of retail that the big authors [normally] get. So the bottom line for me was, can Beaufort do it, [and] can Midpoint handle it on the sales-distribution side …? … We signed the agreement on Aug. 11, [2007].
