Default query on a publishing project from Mark Rucker

Posted By: Joe

Because it's a wonderful concept. And for $250, I'd assume it would be elegantly executed. But what are we trying to do here: create a limited-edition collectible or create a scholarly work for an audience of 100? It's not very educational if only 100 people "learn" from it, no? AND, when it sells out and a decision is made to re-print, you alienate the lucky 100...

Methinks a company like, say, Schiffer, publishes dozens of very high quality books that list at $79.95 or $99.95 that sell way less than the 800-1000 copies this book would probably sell at those price points. Good luck, Mark...I look forward to the book, but for now, at least I've got my copy of "Base Ball Cartes"....
