<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2864334, member: 87186&quot;]Interesting. </p><p>I love ethical questions.</p><p>I see your point. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that even if a buyer purchased $10,000 worth of coins every year or twice a year, it wouldn&#039;t put much of a dent in the cost of producing that catalog when you consider the photographer&#039;s time, the assistants, the editing, paper quality we see used in that book, the printing of it, and so forth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bet that book is only part of the company&#039;s well-planned marketing budget designed to bring down their bottom line in a major way so they can have fine things like that and pay less taxes, too. Maybe that business is one of a group owned by the same person(s) that is designed not to generate a great profit at all. There may be some strategy there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, while it looks like an absolutely scrumptious book and I would love to pour over it,&nbsp; it may be that the electronic version allows one to open the image larger and see more detail than is possible in the printed version.</p><p><br /></p><p>A way to know the answer would be to contact them by email and just ask them what they prefer and if they mind. And if they don&#039;t mind, please post here because I would love to have a book like that to look at on days when I am not able to use electronic equipment but want to enjoy looking at coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the question. I&#039;d like to see what others think.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to say: I thought it was much thicker. It looks to be, what - 50 pages at most? I thought it was super-thick. So I&#039;ll change my estimate of costing a small fortune to produce to probably not a small fortune at all to produce. </p><p>Can you give us a page count, please?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
