Publishing world sucks. The first two printings of "Discovering Donald Ross" sold 10,000 copies at a list price of $85 -- effective average closer to $60, thanks to amazon.com. But Wiley Books decided not to restock a new printing because they don't like warehousing books, the tax codes have changed, they can't move enough copies fast enough, yada, yada, yada. So I'm teaming with Duck Pond Press ("Building Sebonack") and we're publishing the 2nd edition through that arm, with a 20+ page expanded section via postscript, plus up-dated charts, etc. I have assembled most of the new images I need, now finishing the text. Some great images to be included, mainly of courses that were not in the first edition or that more underwent restoration in the decade since the book came out.
Would welcome advice on the list price, as we are deciding now and it's a very expensive book to produce, since it's full color, hard bound and shrink wrapped. $85 might scare people off, but $45 doesn't cover costs, storage, modest return, etc.
