Caught this
Tom Spurgeon commented on the recent ComicsPro position paper regarding publisher debut sales at conventions. Brian Hibbs of Comix Experience comments back, and you can read Tom's second-level response in the above.
I should have something to say about this, since I'm a new publisher in a position to debut a book at Wonder-Con before the official street date. I don't have the time to devote to commenting at the moment however. Hopefully this will change over the course of the weekend.
EDIT "debut" was quoted as "debate" in a recent link on The Beat. The error was mine in the original posting. That's what I get before trying to write before my second cup of coffee on a Saturday.
And no, I still don't have anything useful to say just yet. Check back tomorror morning.
EDIT TO THE EDIT - The book in question is called Strangeways: Murder Moon. A preview of Chapter One, as well as detailed pre-ordering instructions can be seen right at this very link.
