anyone ran the figures yet? hmmm? I make it easy for you all that say this is a goood thing. the lst book was 160 pages. say 155 images. next we factor in the print run. thats 10,000 units minimum for most printshops, you can get less, but the less you print the more they charge. as in double the cost on each book. (I worked a few printers). cost of first book : $24.95. times that by 10000 times images by $20 add together. cost of printing is about 5% of the coverprice (unless you are going for a smaller unit run than 10K, then it can range from 10% to 50% - not a good idea from the economic point of view.) so... whats the gross total? and who gets it? you forget. the books and gallery's are not also selling this book in "Worldwide distribution through Renderosity, AAPPL, bookstores, amazon, etc."
