[Jukka Juutinen]

Andreas, remember that one option is self-publishing. Another point to consider is that the actual physical production costs of the printed book are not that high. That of course depends strongly on the printing run, but I asked a Finnish printer how much would it cost per copy a 500-page hardcover book in A4 format on glossy art paper with a print run of 5000 and in black-and-white (colour covers). The The reply I got was for a 496-page book, and included all physical costs (paper, printing, binding etc.). And the single copy cost was about 7 euros.
