Geez Mike, Care to dispell all the "elitist" tags and spill? Does the fact that you put "elitist" in quotation marks mean that you meant it ironically?

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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Sure, but it's a weird world. At the Telefunken booth at the last NYC AES show, I was talking to one of the sales guys who was going on and on about how Steve Albini was this great god of recording, but then he had no clue who Bob Fine was (and asked me after Bob's sons had left the booth). --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

It's good if you have a scholarly book that will probably not sell more than a couple of thousand copies, or for whatever reason, can't make a deal with a mainstream publisher. You can get a lot of good info on POD from this website: http://www.booksandtales.com/pod/ I'd guess that a book like you describe could probably be produced for about $10 a copy (depending on binding), assuming it was B&W, plus another buck for the CD, but you'd have to hire some people to shove the CD into the book. --MFW [remove the extra M above for email] |

(aka "Publish On Demand"), which is essentially a very high-quality laser printer/binding machine, that can spit out many hundreds (if not thousands) of softbound books an hour. That's what I'm looking at, but I'm looking at a supplier that's minimum bother for me, Cafe Press. Their pricing structure is very straightforward, they handle all the order processing and shipping, and provide a web page I can "advertise" for direct ordering. All I have to do is sit back and wait for the armored trucks to line up in front of my driveway. You can get a lot of good info on POD from this website: http://www.booksandtales.com/pod/ I'd guess that a book like you describe could probably be produced for about $10 a copy (depending on binding), assuming it was B&W, plus another buck for the CD, but you'd have to hire some people to shove the CD into the book. I'll take a look at your source. A quick peek shows a complex web page with lots of alternatives but the reasons for the web page's author's favorite choices don't seem to have anything to do with what I'm doing. From Cafe Press, it's 4.5 cents per page and $4.50 for wire binding (I like that for this sort of book - it will lie flat when opened). They don't have a stock price for a CD-in-the-book and said they'd research it - I was thinking of just one of those sticky-back CD envelopes stuck to the inside of the front or back cover. Their price for a CD with box, label, and simple paper inserts is $5. So worst case I'm looking at $14-15, maybe less. I'd like to get the CD for a buck or two. I don't think that making $5 a copy is unreasonable for a limited production item like this. -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) However, until the spam goes away or Hell freezes over, lots of IP addresses are blocked from this system.

It would make sense. Given the writing style, I recommended "Book" within the first couple of weeks of postings. Nice flair and a good feel for the reader. |
