Parish has used several different options over the years, so I still think it's worth asking his experience. (When I bought his books, some of it was through Blurb: http://www.blurb.com/search/site_search?search=jeremy+parish http://www.blurb.com/search/site_search?search=jeremy+parish)
Speaking for myself, I think $60 is reasonable for a 450 page, full color book about a niche subject. Bitmap Books does look like a good option, and wow, that book on Super Famicom box art is tempting...
- njharman 10y ago+1 to $60 being totally reasonable (cheap even) price for 450 page book in color. I (and thousands of people) regularly pay $50-70 for pen and paper RPG books with less page count. And I've paid much, much more than that for niche art books.
- felipepepe 10y agoThanks, but it's a last resort. That wouldn't even require a crowdfunding campaign, I just upload the files and that's it. Since I've spent over 4 years now on this, why not dream higher? I think it's worthy to try to make something cooler, of higher quality and cheaper for everyone. The book doesn't even have a cover yet, so I might hire an amazing artist as stretch goal or something like that. :)
- MrZeus 10y agoCould I mention the legendary artist Mark Ferrari for your consideration? http://markferrari.com/art/digital-concepts/ http://markferrari.com/art/digital-concepts/ (I know there are hundreds of others, I'm hoping people might reply and compile a favourites list for you ^_^)
- felipepepe 10y agoI actually already talked with Toni Bratincevic to get an idea of how such job would work. He's my #1 choice. :)
