Certain questions which arise are: no control of publishers over the discounts they sell at, reference of retailers such as supermarkets as "non-traditional" outlets when anyone can see that they are almost as traditional as bookshops now, the need of a representative, a distributor, a wholesaler and a retailer between authors and readers.
