<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JLASS, post: 7943075, member: 122189&quot;]Thanks, GDJMSP! Helpful information all around - that makes a lot of sense. I have one or two other types of collections where a similar situation exists, in that most good information still hasn’t been digitized or is published only in hard copy (either due to lack of demand (e.g., more people cared when written) or because authors quite understandably and reasonably want a well-earned economic reward for their labor). In some ways, I like this, as, despite being relatively young, I’ve long thought there’s no true digital replacement for the feel of a nice tome in one’s hands. I agree that the prices can get quite high, though, especially when demand is high and no economy of scale involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It’s a tough truth for those of us not solely interested in “mainstream” hobbies - if one is only going to be able to sell a small number of books and have a print run, say, every 15 years, they would need to sell high to have any hope of even recouping costs, and then you also have cases where the last print run was a century ago….[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
