[FM Discuss] How is the printed MYOSA selling?

[James Simmons]

I'm thinking that I might be getting close to the point where I could
prepare "E-Book Enlightenment" for publication by Lulu.  The Rural
Design Collective did a printing of about 25 copies of that book some
months ago, and they did a beautiful job on what I considered to be an
unfinished (but still useful) book.  If I did a printing with Lulu I'd
want it to look more like a regular FLOSS Manual, with a white
wraparound cover, etc.

The thing that makes me wonder if doing the work required for this is
worthwhile is that I have no idea of how many copies of the printed
book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" have been sold.  Since the FM
website gets what profits there may (or not) be I'm thinking you would
be able to give me a count.  Obviously it was fun for me to have a
printed book available but I do have to wonder if doing the same thing
for the second book would be worth the effort.  I can always just make
an e-book out of it and post it to the Internet Archive.  (MYOSA got
67 downloads from there so far).

The RDC might want to do another limited printing too.  Their printing
was in full color and really showed off the great artwork done for the
book in a way that the normal FM printing would not.  If only a small
number were interested in getting a printed copy that might be a
better way to go.
