I'd pay $40. Not sure I'd go higher even for autographed books. Postage would consume more money.
But $40 for the book itself, yes.
Thats definite.

Well, as you can see, so far three people have said yes. I think two others have said yes outside this forum. That's 5. I need rather more than that to make it profitable.

I would buy a copy and would be willing to pay about $40.
Just out of curiosity how many buyers would you need at what cost to make any money? or at least break even?
Offline
I need at least 25 definite sales before it becomes feasible.

net if it will get you to make the book hardcover ill buy 3 and ill give em to friends as presents i REALY want the book . to everyone else think about buying em as presents (help net get this underway )
also
1. do you want us to email you our addresses for mailing
2 is it gonna be cod (assuming you can do it) or do you want checks in the mail first
3. what would be the shipping costs?
Offline
1. & 2. Chances are I would use PayPal, the same way I did for my CD's. If enough people objected to that, I might get a PO Box to get checks as well, but the checks would have to clear before shipping.
3. This would probably be determined by the actual shipping cost. Since I don't have a book in hand, I can't get a cost from the PO, so I can't tell you.

Development.
It's already 315,000 words long. Just how much "development" do you want?

sounds good, I would love to see something like that. it is, after all, a novel, and it should be treated as such. I would probably put something like 40 into it.
Offline
Hey Net Wolf, I will buy one for $40 definitely maybe more for gifts
Offline
I just finished reading the whole story on the site but would definatly buy a book if offered and 40 would be a good price.
Offline
Glad I signed up on the boards when I did. I'll put my vote in for buying one. I might be willing to pay upwards of US$50 for one if the binding is well done, and it is signed. It would be great if it got a good sleeve cover too, but I don't know who you would get to do the artwork, or even what the artwork for a sleeve cover would entail.
I imagine just reformatting it to fit to the confines of conventional print would be a task in and of itself.
Offline
I'm quite capable of doing the cover art myself, thank you very much. And formatting for print really is not that hard, it's just a matter of setting page size and margins.

Apologies, I did not mean to imply you couldn't. I've known several folks who have gotten very hung up in their personal publishing projects over details like that though, so I was more of wondering aloud. True, it is more of page size and margins work, however their is also choice of font, section and chapter divisions and whatelse not. I'm sure you have it covered though.
Offline
It's a brilliant story which deserves a book from it, I'd get one. No doubts there
Offline
Iwouls definatly buy a cop for 40 or 50 i read the whole storu in 11 starit hours it was great just wondeing if you would offer a large print but prob not cause the story is so lonf but one could hope
Offline
Unfortunately, that would be considered an entire other run of books, which would cost as much as the first run did to print (since setup and everything would have to be redone.) Unless I got enough people who needed large-print (and given the length, the book would have to come in volumes, thus upping the cost even further...) it's just not cost effective. Sorry.
