Dear Matthias,
'30 Euro is a normal price for a printed book, with ISBN code and a cover'.'
You are right when you do not have a little production like mine (only 100 units).
'The autor has to pay fees for the printing company, so he perhaps earns half of the price.
Is this true for your situation?'
The cost asked by the compagny at Evreux is too high for me. There's only one company.
As mentionned above it's a little production.
For a color printing, covering and wrapping, the Xerox company at Evreux is asking EUR 0.20 per page,
id est EUR 60.00 per book !!!
For 1000 pages, the price decreases to EUR 0.15 (EUR 45 per book)
and for 5000 pages 'only' to EUR 0.10. (EUR 30 per book).
Those prices do not includes s&h costs.
I'm not a professional, just an ordinary person.
'If you burn your CDs yourself, I would say, the price is some Euros too high,
if you have a burning company and we get a booklet it's ok...'.
I have to burn them myself because at Evreux there's no such company.
But there's an important point you do not consider :
the time left in order to write the book.
'By the way: I know a lot of "insiders" as Wlodek, Warren and Dave who would also be happy to get a free CDr.. :)
I would not publish this to everybody, maybe you could earn some enviousness...'
Are you jalous? ;o)
Dave, Warren and Wlodek will give their point of view on that book.
