I have a new children's book that just arrived. Printed in 1875, it's called The Widow's Cottage and Other Stories, and has 21 stories in it. A lot of work would be needed to produce a replica of this book. All of the text would have to be retyped. One-hundred twenty-eight pages would have to be cut, folded, and trimmed to fit eight folios. The folios would then have to be sewn together, and finally, glued into a thick cardstock cover. The book is just under 5x4" and almost 1/2" thick. Given the very low production number and the many, many hours of work, this book would require a high price, which can only be determined when I have an idea of how long it will take me, and about how many copies I can expect to sell. Please answer the poll to help me make a decision. Thank you!
