I have been doing some cost estimates on high production value fine art
photography books and for current print on demand technology, each copy
would have to retail for $200, where conventional offset would come in
at figures getting as low as $50 a copy.
The scary thing about conventional offset is how to get rid of two to
five thousand rather expensive books... considering I based this costing
on a 48 to 60 page book costing at least $50, if not more.
Anyways, more trivia on the publishing business... thank the gods the
goddess sent me into early medical retirement from this horrid
business.... best wishes, Chris Jones.
