Re: [AGA-mcm] [APD] Re: Kasselmann's Book (fwd)

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

If we're talking about an English trnaslation to accompany
CK's Echin book, then:

Look what we would have had to charge for The Basics just
to cover costs. The cost was not much less, if any less,
than commerical printing except that we could produce fewer
copies. Now imagine a much thicker document with probably a
smaller market -- not all newbies but all sword
afficianodos.

If we're talking about her new "in English" book, could we
serve a purpose by seeling that book that is not already
being served?
