Could costs be saved in future by using a print-on-demand publisher?
As last years minutes will show you, we have already started to consider
this option. Our problem is then getting material in a print-on-demand
format, which Nick is doing of course. Print on demand books will not
likely be high quality, which may or may not impact sales (libraries and
bookstores won't like them as much). I don't know what they cost, since we
haven't gotten any meaningful price quotes. Probably 3-5 cents a page, I
would guess, plus some for the cover and binding. So we are still talking
$15-$20 for the lessons book, though with little up front cost and no
income to pay for other activities.
