Well done Blurb. The only problem I see is the cost. I have people that want the book, but feel the price is too high. Their comparison are books that they can buy at Barnes and Noble etc. were comparable books sell for 12.95. It is a heartbreak for me to tell them that my book is 38 dollars plus shipping and that is no profit to me. Even if I bought 10 books or a 100, people would grimace at the price. It would be really great if you could have some kind of price breakthrough. I know that is difficult, but something you could consider. I know that quality books are printed in S Korea, that could possible help you to compete. Perhaps the time line would be longer, but it could be option for cheaper printing. Again, I want to emphasis the great quality of your books, just wish that you could work on the pricing to help us all sell more books. As it is I am sure I will buy more books, in drabs and dribbles. But would it not be great to increase the flow. warm regards bob Hi,

Please, please consider adding low cost normal postage... at amazon it starts at 15$ for the same !
