Re: New Publishing Company
And the author gets a far lower return per book without, in our field at least, any compensating increase in sales. (Also, a hot issue in the UK right now, Amazon's affairs are so structured that it contributes precious little in tax relative to its turnover, thereby crushing much smaller businesses which make a far greater contribution).

Re: New Publishing Company
I suggest more publishers post here. We should encourage authors and publishers to post here. Perhaps offer a 10% off preorder incentive. It has to be done. There are books out there that fall into our area of interest but they get overlooked.

Re: New Publishing Company
Ed is correct! And I'd also suggest a scheme in which customers who would both pre-order and pre-pay in full would get a substantial discount (say 30 % off). Naturally the publisher should guarantee a reasonable time in which the book is ready to be shipped. Say 3 months.

Not exactly a good example as I subscribed exactly a year ago for this book (for 57) and it was to be published in late 2017 (still no news). Lela Presse may delay some of its book, but no more than a couple of month. You got free shipping if you pre-order one of their own book and if you have subscribed to one of their mag you get a 10-15% discount on all their mag and own books. And there's the "Loyalty Scheme" (not as good as it used to be but yet) and also they offer time to time free shipping. Not sure if it's as much valuable for a foreigner but for French customers, that's excellent. |

Re: New Publishing Company
thanks for all the comments and suggestions guys. I will have to carefully consider my options.
We are hoping to get the book out by the end of November this year, although of course there may be delays. |
