The Rock Bottom Remainders is a band made up of authors. They got their name from the term remainder which in publishing is the publisher’s sale of the rest of the stock on unsold books at a reduced price, usually in bulk. I love the idea of this name. It’s irreverent and cheeky.
The band has raised a lot of funds for charity and has many famous members including Stephen King, Dave Barry, Scott Turow, Ridley Scott and Mitch Albom.
I love that they give to charity. It’s admirable for them to give back in such a fun way.

I also love the name…(like these fellows have to worry about it much, though! )
Fun for charity…good guys…nice to know.

True, Tonette. But I’ve seen some of them in the remainders pile.

Thanks for the info. Nice to know good things like this when the news is so filled with the negative side of human nature.
