Thanks for the specs. If I knew where I could get 396 pages printed
and bound, and make a little money selling it for $19.95, I'd publish
the book of my Recording articles that people have been asking for.
Cafepress actually isn't bad if you only have a small number that get sold,
but it's phenomenally expensive if you sell a lot. I've been looking into
doing that with the Recording articles but the thing is that I am not sure
what the actual sales will be like, and I really have no clue how to market
it.
Right now I'm looking at $19.95 (OK, $20) for about 90 pages and a CD,
wire bound, less than 1/2" thick, weight unknown (but shipping
included).
Wirebound is great for a reference book that you'll keep on top of the
console, but is otherwise pretty cheesy. Sewn bindings really are worth
the money just in terms of looking much more professional. People are
more apt to drop the money on a book that looks well-printed and well-bound.
