Ingram stopped selling to Baker and Taylor when it became clear stuff was going bad, but they couldn’t get back what they’d already sold before the warning signs cropped up. That’s what I’m losing out on, the unpaid invoices in the unreturned stock.

For what it’s worth, my actual distributor, Ingram, saw this coming months, if not YEARS in advance, prepared for it best they could, and warned me (and other publishers) months and months ahead of time. They did their job, and I’m not angry at them at all. Everybody did everything they could.

In case you’re curious, this is probably because ICC does a lot of library business in general. Baker and Taylor served the library market. So, I don’t know, maybe they had more of our books than average. I have no idea.
