Michael, Dave is right (and I think this is what Mel means as well): think about print-on-demand. Here's a reference for you: http://www.amazon.com/Detailed-Self-Publishing-Amazon-Booksellers--Demand/dp/1480250201/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376395213&sr=8-2&keywords=self+publishing
That way, people print as needed and you don't need to fork over printing costs, mailing and so forth. And as for your concern about photocopying, I would only add that most of us have and value the Muskett books, and the market is more the new comers to the instrument, a limited audience at best. You've reached your big market share and from now on until the great Second Coming of the Hurdy Gurdy, sales will probably be limited. judith On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 6:41 AM, Dave Holland <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 11:25:24AM +0100, Michael Muskett wrote: > > Sales are so small that publication is not a commercial proposition > and > > firms have shied away from it in the past. > > Hello Michael, > > I wonder if print-on-demand might be a way forward?
