In all likelihood individual buyers won't be able to make a dent.
True ... unless there are 2,743 "individual" buyers, TEd, or even 477,000 "individual" buyers "in 208 countries". If every AWADian had a say about the quality of the books they are paying for, the "dent" might register on the Richter scale. Maybe we should have an AWADian spine repair kit? Does that sound like a radical idea? Alas, readers are more likely to take up armchairs than arms.
