anyone wants to make any money, but simply so the books can continue to
be published. None of the publishers makes any money off the
publications, with the possible exception of the books published by SUNY
Press. But the electronic publication on the Internet is a threat
to re-publication of the books, and no one really wants that to happen.
As it is now, the money which comes from the publications goes right
back into republishing them.
