ABOUT THE PRICE:
When we surveyed the GardensAll community on whether they'd be interested in a garden wisdom book, we had good enough response to move forward with this project.
PRICING: We also asked what price they thought the book should be. Answers ranged anywhere from $7-$50 for the print version, averaging out to be about $14.
69% or respondents preferred a hard cover spiral bound over a hard bound book.
Well... the numbers direct from our publisher are in:
The COST of printing the first 100 spiral bound books is $20 per book, which does not include the labor for graphic design, collating and editing.
Here is that per-book price breakdown for printing 100 (rounded to the nearest dollar):
$20 - Printing
$ 1 - Collating and organizing content from the Facebook page
$ 1 - Graphic Design work to create this book
$ 0 - GardensAll staff over 100 hrs
COST PER BOOK for 100 pre-sells: $22
