<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3522972, member: 76194&quot;]Based on those dimensions, the pages are roughly the size of copier paper. I think that&#039;s probably still big enough to allow decent images, while making the reprint affordable to most collectors to consider buying a copy for themselves or others.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; You nailed it, I bet you if Roman Silver Coins was updated and re-issued tomorrow using a micro-printer that allows for smaller batches, I could see it selling 8,000 to 10,000 copies of each of the 5 volumes in total. The demand is definitely there. You see people paying $35 or $45 per volume for the severely outdated 1950&#039;s or the 1960&#039;s books, and as much as $50 per book for the &quot;newer&quot; late 70&#039;s to early 80&#039;s edition all the time. And they sell well at those prices...proving a demand exists.&nbsp; Some of the volumes which can&#039;t be found regularly anymore, like Volume 5 for the 2nd edition, or volume 3 for the 3rd edition, can command crazy prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>So imagine the updated RSC (all five volumes in paperback) selling at $40 per book....$200 for the set. Who here wouldn&#039;t bite on that for the chance of having more images of coins, newer research, and correction of the mistakes in the previous editions? All serious collectors of Roman coins would want it, plus experts, universities, dealers, etc. I think my estimate of a demand of 8000 copies of each of the volumes (40,000 books sold in total) is doable, and profitable for the publisher considering only a fraction of the stuff in the books will require update. The only major change will be adding additional images of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
