We were fortunate in that our initial investment was substantially less and we are in a geographical niche that made initial exposure for our work not only very manageable, but inexpensive as well. Last year we passed the 100,000 mark for copies old in our series and still does not seem to have peaked - and while we are very serious about it all (we are an Ltd.) this is still very much part-time for us. I have spoken at a number of conferences on this same subject and from all I have read here, your series on the subject is a keeper. gary vanriper Hello Joel,

The whole point of these 4 articles was to give people "ballpark" figures to work with, and I hope they did that. Certainly we've both seen a lot of books that don't fit easily into a standard format, but the authors of those books seem to know that their books will require special work. Thanks for adding your thoughts to this discussion. Thanks, Stephen. The whole point of these 4 articles was to give people “ballpark” figures to work with, and I hope they did that.
