My smallpress publisher got a call a while back from a campus copy center
asking if it was OK to copy 20 sets of a chapter from "Mutiny." She said
no, but that she'd give a bargain group price for 20 copies of
the book. Never heard another word. We always assumed the teacher had one
or two copies made directly from the book, then took them somewhere else for
the desired 20 sets.

We know that various material from the book has been circulated for
classroom use and we have certainly never gotten a royalty. Fact is, most
school offices have their own copy machines these days, don't need to go
to Kinko.
