Thanks for link FL.

The whole thing makes grim and interesting reading.

Anyway, I read part of Labate's post. I'll read the rest late this controversy is going to provide more entertainment down the road. Woo Hoo!!!
I've had a bit of experience in the publishing industry, and that is a reasonable cost per book; for example, a typical cost for a 256 page 5.5 by 8.5 inch book with a full color, laminated color and black and white interior for a 3000 copies should not be more than 2 or 3 dollars a copy, as much of the cost if fixed (initial labor, setting up files, preparing plates, etc.). Of course, the benefit of printing more books goes down as you print more, to the point where printing let's say 10,000 books versus printing 20,000 books will save you pennies per copy, while requiring a much larger up front investment of capital

That's good to know about the book cost, but with all the subsequent happenings, I formed my opinion on the issue a while back. Let's just say that I don't have any plans of getting into Gothic chess, and if I meet Trice in a bar, I won't be buying him any beers. 🙂

You're more likely to meet Trice behind bars than in a bar.

I will look out for it 🙂
