When the xu1 book came out, I got a hard cover number 300 of 600.

Is that all the hard covers they made?

Funny how the front cover has been done for a book that never made it to print

Nah, mine is 336 of 600.
A9X is 136 of 750
Group A Commodores is 607 of 650.

With the price of the hard covers, I would have thought you would only have to sell around 600 to get your money back.

I had a chat with Stephen Stathis today, as I was chasing up some old photos that he had in his A9X book,And I then asked him about the L34 book,and he has told me it's just about complete and that's where it will end sadly, as to make this book up will cost $25,000 plus and then to sell enough to cover all his costs,plus the volume isn't there in the market.Which is a shame.Maybe one day it might come out fingers crossed! :cry:

Now that is a real shame. Surely you could sell 500 at 50 bucks each.

He could make it into a pdf and sell it online as just that. No print cost outlay, charge a reduced amount for the PDF, atleast he would get something?

even 263 copies at $95 would find enough buyers, or 500 copies at $89.90 and Stephen take $20k for himself
