xlibris set the price of my books at 15.99 US. For a price (about $150) and a reduced royalty I was able to set my own price to the lowest they allow: $12.99 This is one of my curiosities about printing on my own. I feel like they are probably taking such a high cut above the price of printing that it forces the books to be priced higher than other paperback books of similar size. It is a frustrating point but at this time I don't know what else to do about it. When selling through a store you can expect to provide a wholesale discount of 40%, even 45% at one major retailer, so there is only so much you can do and still break even. |
