Osseum's implosion hurt a lot of good people in this business. Chad Justice over at Mythic Dreams is my usual immediate example - something like half of the print run of the Spycraft version of Dark Inheritance is lost to him, and he received next to nothing on the copies that did sell. One of the best Spycraft Family product lines is now completely stalled out.
I certainly think you and Carter and Leighton are doing the right thing. With the Net's ease of commerce, there's no need at all for a small press, especially one with an established fan base and constant con support, to rely on distributors and the book trade system.
