I've been quieter on the Spectrum scene the last few years, young kids made sure of that. I used to often submit recordings to the RZX archive when I had more time.
Anyway, thanks for reading hopefully I will have a few more projects published this year.
Wow, £16.99 for 128 page book in print format is expensive, although it is in colour. Is that what Amazon charge (plus obviously some profit for you [mention]malczx[/mention]. I don't know much about the Amazon print on demand service
These ones (which I have purchased both of) are over 700 pages and are £19.99. They are b&w though with a colour cover.
I hope the book does well for you though. Have you thought of selling a PDF? You could include watermarks discreetly showing the purchasers email to reduce illegal copying.
17 pounds? I'm sorry, but that's way too much. To be brutally honest, your book does not really look professional enough to warrant this price. Actually I would probably pass even if it was a fiver, because it looks like something I could put together myself in few days.
It's a good idea, but I think you should take it back to drawing board (add backgrounds, move past basic formatting, etc). Then maybe do a Kickstarter - or risk a small independently printed run yourself. I've looked at prices for similar formats recently and they aren't actually so bad (though, of course do involve some initial investment.)
Hello, fair enough thanks for the feedback, yes the colour does put the price up unfortunately, I will look at changing it to black and white inside. I've never done anything like this before so it's a start I guess.
