Thank you for writing up your story. Could you break down the costs at each step? Did you break even on royalties and printing costs? I am always fascinated by the whole tension of copyright, publishing costs, and the lost knowledge due to the gap between the two.

From uncertain organic memory royalty was a set percentage (7%? came out to a $1,000 check plus a fee $500?). Print $3,500 as two checks. Books sold for $70 ea. and if sold on Amazon had $12.83 for their fees. Sold a few in person, handed out too many for marketing, and did okay on shipping 'cause I re-used packaging. In the end, came out ahead, and would be willing to revisit this sort of thing in the future.
