I liked that concise and to the point advice about authors. Hank makes a good case for why writers should know the business behind their books and especially the financials. As a writer friend of mine put it - I don't want to be famous and poor. Just like the actors that build 'plan B' production houses for that time when their looks fade and the money still need to come in. It's time the arts think business and Hank is right. Well, maybe not like Coca-Cola, and this is why Hank is very useful because his advice is simple and direct and illustrated with spreadsheets that your 12 year old would figure out. Moreover, he did it first, he tried it out, and this is invaluable as a source for what works and what does not. If you are serious about making money as a writer, don't wing it, read this book.
