I really wish people that write niche hobby books would take advantage of digital printing. You can get more of a print on demand situation with the same quality (or darn near, IMO) as offset press printing (I used to work for Xerox selling digital printing presses). It would allow for more affordable pricing because publishers don't have to commit to a large run... lets face it, publishers are in a business and they don't want to have merchandise out on consignment that they can't sell. Its a win-win situation, IMO.



How about eBooks (PDFs)?!?!? I would pay $20 for a quality eBook without blinking twice. Thats yet another viable alternative to traditional publishing. Anyone considering writing a herp book would be well advised to consider these methods. Comments? Questions? Recipes for pound cake? =o)
