Hi :) I think the price is very reasonable given that competitors guides probably cost a huge amount more. If people are really bothered about price then downloading is free. We can't get much lower than that! Also i don't think the price would be reduced by very much except, perhaps, for the Advanced one.
Perhaps offering an Advanced Users guide might be good? But i think those same chapters should also be in the basic users guide rather than excluded from it. Perhaps it could pull in chapters from some of the other guides? Perhaps 1 "Advanced Users - Getting Started Guide" which might be a tiny pamphlet and then a separate "Advanced Users in Depth"?

As I said to David earlier in this thread, one book could have two"parts"; that's another variation on my proposal My main reason for proposing two books is that many people may be more likely to download or buy a shorter, less expensive, and lessformidable-seeming book. <snip /> Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to documentation+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
