Do you have any idea how many copies of Cuomo’s book the publisher printed and how much it cost them?
This will cost them $700,000 + publishing cost - (($18.33 (Amazon hard cover price) x 945 = $17,321.85)).
I estimate that a publisher charges about 3 times what their cost is. I estimate that based on the fact that as a writer, I can get a 40% discount. So I have to figure that they are still making some pennies on every copy they sell me.
