are there some envious little weenies out there, or what? :)
my mom (retired writer/politician & amateur horticulturalist)
and dad (retired pilot/engineer & amateur photographer)
wrote a pocket guide book to speciality gardens & arboretums
in northern california, and it cost them about $10,000 in
production expenses (travel, photography equipment/supplies,
and so forth). They made that back and about another $10,000
of profit (I think that represented either 2 or 3 printings
total). aprx 6 months of work.
regards,
ep
