Thank you so much, gentlemen.
You might indeed be right on the pricing, Alphadog. The thing is though, dear chap, I start from a position of not being concerned about making a profit… as long as I don’t lose too much I’ll be happy just to create something nice.
We’re reasonably confident of being able to handle the necessary pre-production work ourselves… descriptive text, page layout, cover design, photography, etc. This would be time consuming, of course, but I’m retired and enjoy that sort of thing anyway. And it would save a lot of money!
Regards the printing and binding of a high quality 200-page book, tentative research suggests costs in the region of $20 per book might just about be possible based on an order of 200 copies. It could yet prove to be a pipe dream for sure, but I’m hoping that gives the project a fighting chance of getting off the ground.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts. As ever they are much appreciated.
