Dan Kennedy's memoir about raising a daughter with dwarfism got good reviews but went out-of-print in 2008, having sold a mere 1,600 copies. Two years later, after a teacher friend asked for more copies than were available, Kennedy published his own at a Harvard Square bookstore. He writes about the experience in the winter Nieman Reports. "I can't tell you exactly how much I made, but I'd say it was somewhere between $750 and $800," Kennedy writes.
