All right /lit/, anybody here know anything about book publishing?

hypothetically speaking, how much do you figure it would be to start a publishing office up? Also, mention the machinery minimally required to run this hypothetical starter business.


Just curious

Starting this would be a bad idea. Almost the same as manufacturing cassettes.

I'm seeing the pic, and it's not really helpful.

you are suggesting online distribution. So... Website fees for design, some publicity that may or may not be free and through networking sites, and then thats it.

not bad, could easily distribute for ~$500 or less. But not very profitable

Yeah,I know. Just felt like having some fun figuring this out.

realistically, you'd need to know the skills through working in an existing publishing house, and even then it would be a risk
