Near-zero pretty much covers it. I've had two different passes in the last 
6 ? years with them where I offered to deliver the book if they'd commit to 
some schedule of advertising and republication of the earlier works. Their 
response both times was they'd look at the mss. first, and then decide how 
to handle it. I don't even find this a particularly unreasonable position 
on their part, but given how they hosed the publication of Last Dancer, I'm 
unwilling to deliver that mss. to them without a commitment up front as to 
how it will be handled.

Now they can't republish the earlier works; they've been republished. And 
I'm uninterested in another one-off paperback from Bantam.
