All authors at some level want to recover something for their work.
I'm guilty of it; I am one.
Do you realize how crazy expensive the prep of writing a book can be, in research alone? My last book I spent well over $1000 between trips, time off work, photocopies, memberships to newspaper sites, purchasing old photos for use in the book, etc.
I may never make it back but the story needed to be told.
