|I think I more or less agree with you that good books - or good
publishing - should be more or less able to cover its costs
I wonder if we can be sure what a good book is
- but only if editors are prepared to work for nowt or little (which many
are, of course) and not push the books beyond the boundaries of the markets
already established. A few hundred quid start up money can fund many
pmahplet publications for instance - and if you can't make your money back
on pamphlets you're way off course.
One criterion of good publishing would be, for me, that boundaries are
pushed
