<r>Mark,Congrats on the good sales figure for Interview.How do you set the price of USD80 for your More Math finance? i set mine at USD75, but am now unsure if this is a good sales strategy. Amazon does not give discounts for POD, so POD books with equivalent list price as other technical books, may...

<r>Thanks guys , i get the drift.What do you think of translating to a chinese version and sell in China? i am visiting Beijing now, saw many popular investment books (Chinese version) selling around Yuan50 (or USD7.7)--nothing to write home about, but the volume can be huge. Just attended a risk co...

<t>i am seriously old school when it comes to new technology (except POD )Readers keep asking me about Kindle, search -insides, i-pads. i am under the belief that any form of e-book will expose an author to piracy. i have seen e-copies of good technical books floating around in cyberspace, some even...

<r>QuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4AlphaOne might conclude that creativity is worth less than productivity.It really depends on what "worth" means-- if it means wealth creation, then that is definitely true. But if it means impact on society, its difficult to tell from sales volume. Do you think t...

<t>MJ, if you are converting all your CS books to LSI, note that LSI only has certain sizes for hard covers. Mistakes are opaque & costly at LSI. One way to "hedge" oneself is to look for a common size which exist at both operators, which has a hard cover (on LSI) like 6.14''x9.21'' (a touch sma...

<r>That's nasty of Lulu. With LSI you can set the discount as low as 20%! The strange thing is you alway hear of this floor of 20% in forums, but nowhere is this stated in LSI contracts/ website. Wonder if anyone has tried to set lower than 20%? Aaron's book argues that setting anything above 20% is...

<t>i put in a real company. It is however, mentioned in a forum, you can just put in a "name" for your publishing company, LSI does not check. However, whatever you key in the agreement will be piped into Igram database as publisher name, and will feed Amazon (you can subsequently change this using ...

<r>The PDF/X-1a:2001 is a selectable Compliance-profile found in Adobe 9.0 (Pro version only) and higher versions. I think it may be a minimum requirement of LSI. I originally created my interior file for Createspace using PDF995, the proof copy was flawless. But when I pass the same file into the P...
