[From Dag Forssell (2014.10.06 08:30)]
In late August, with the aim of streamlining my pricing and make each
item more affordable, I created a spreadsheet to analyze each book I
publish; price, discount, cost of printing and royalties I owe.
While I have gradually reduced some prices over the years, a
comprehensive analysis was a bit overdue. It has been seven years since I
shifted from producing books myself to using the Print On Demand and
fulfillment services of Lightning Source, a division of Ingram.
The ten books I publish are now priced as shown below. I made the price
changes September 1. They have now propagated through Ingram’s digital
catalog and have been updated at Amazon and other Internet
bookstores.
