Re: [NTG-context] Fonts in ConTeXt is now available from boekplan.com
Is this book going to be available in the U.S.? If so, where can I find it? If not, may I suggest that you upload your PDFs to CreateSpace.com and have it made available to buyers through Amazon.com. I normally don't like limiting a book's availability to a single reseller, but for a niche book it makes sense. There is no cost to upload the book but an optional $39 fee that reduces print costs dramatically. There is no inventory cost as books are printed only when customers order copies. If multiple titles are to be published, using Lightning Source may make more sense for serving the U.S. market.
