When I look at the cost of making a book around like 160 pages with full color art, professional editing and layout, and all the other things to just produce the book itself and then pay for the offset print run and all its associated costs, for me I'd want to know I could get about 2,000 backers to manage that.It's highly dependent on the size of the product and the costs associated with that product (art, editing, layout, cover design and art, and all the rest).Like [USER=7042066]@Melina.Vortex[/USER], we took no payment for our own work on the project figuring the money we make on the remainder of the funds and for selling the book later accounted for that (also, we just love making books for the sake of making books). City of Arches had almost twice the backers we needed to break even so that worked out for us. But I think its harder and harder to find products that can resonate like that.Still, I'm busy poking away at my next one!</blockquote>
