I just looked at the Amazon account and the latest Lightning Source report, which covers our two main sources of income. This year to date, we have sold 21 books on Amazon, making about $21.50 per book, for an approximate year to date of $450 for 3 1/2 months. This amounts to around $1500/yr. They are down to only 1 book in their inventory, so I need to somehow manage to get more books to amazon (I haven't tried this since my shoulder damage was diagnosed), but luckily sales have been slow the last month (only 1 book sold). Lightning Source sold 19 copies of the intro book in the first 3 months of the year, which has netted us around $29, maybe $1.50 per book, and leading to an annual estimate of a little more than $100/year. Making some wild guesses about CLL 2nd edition parameters, at the current amazon price, we likely would make no more than $7 per book, which means that our income might drop to around $500 per year. (The bulk of the difference is that with Lightning Source, we haven't paid for the printing yet, whereas the printing costs for the existing CLLs were paid off several years ago.) Donations have been small, usually only a couple hundred dollars a year, but the $2000 donation a few months ago makes this year somewhat unusually better that average. lojbab _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
