So, I could probably make it available to buy for between £30 & £40 (which would be printing costs plus retail mark-up, no profit) in the expectation hardly anyone would buy it (unless their libraries bought it for them) and hope people would use a free or dirt cheap ebook version instead. So could perhaps add a tenner to the price of the print book and hope to sell 50 copies (to recover costs) with the ebook free, or charge a token amount (a fiver?) for the ebook and hope to recover costs that way...<br /><br />Will definitely think about it more over the next month or so!Andy Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672754063506249382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214042067583348697.post-43256805314369290112013-01-02T16:17:29.532+00:002013-01-02T16:17:29.532+00:00I think you should and that it's a great idea....I think you should and that it's a great idea. There are so many library/IL related titles out there that I'd like to read which are too expensive to justify a purchase of all but a couple. A cheaper alternative would be welcome and it appears self-publishing is the way to go these days http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/oct/25/self-publishing-publishingSarabrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393686380245787704noreply@blogger.com
