ASE2-3 pricing

Here's what I'm doing for pricing on ASE2-3.  It's 147 pages, 50% longer than ASE1 (both word count and pages), took twice as long to write, and art cost are more than twice those in ASE1.  So I intend to net $15 per sale rather than the $10 I net for ASE1.

That puts prices at:

ASE2-3 Publisher Grade Paper (int'l shipping is expensive) - $25.09
ASE2-3 Standard Paper (cheaper for international shipping) - $26.56
ASE2-3 PDF - $17.66

I think that's fair for nearly 150 pages.

I'm also debating the need for a publisher grade option at all, but hey, $1.45 savings, so I suppose it's useful.

  1. That sounds fair to me. I'm confused about the difference between Publisher Grade Paper and Standard Paper, though. Is there a difference in quality?

  2. Publisher grade paper is slightly thinner, and apparently only available at US printers. No significant difference except for shipping costs.

  3. So when and where is the official release party?

    1. More a dazed expression and a wondering of what to do with all this free time, than a party.

      Just got an email from Lulu, it's shipped, so unless the Post Office loses it, should be here in a couple of days.

  4. Not sure if these are even options, or reasonably cost effective, but are there any partial discount combo meals being considered:
    Print price + a few dollars gets you the PDF too? Or ASE 1, 2, &3 all for one price?

    1. Unfortunately no, that's not on the list of things that Lulu does
