Emily et al,
I was not really worried about recovering 30 dollars. No biggie. At
the beginning I failed to talk about "money". I am perfectly happy to
not assign any royalties. You are correct in assuming I can set the
price of the book at any level beyond the basic printing cost which
is about $18 as I mentioned.
If some kind of royaly would be included, even like 10 cents, Lulu
keeps track of that and sends the "author" a check every so often. If
these would have to be kept track of so as to redistribute to every
contributor that would obviously be too much of a hassle. My school
might benefit if they are directed its way but I think also that the
amounts would be very small and maybe not worth the hassle of the
paperwork associated with depositing a few dollars every 3 months.
So, I am am for no royalties and let the chips fall where they may.
This would ensure that the PDFs of the book are free and that nobody
has to deal with money.
cheerio,

FWIW, I heartily concur. I never anticipated any monetary return and
assumed that was not the purpose of the book. But I am retired from
commercial photo ventures now and I am only speaking for myself. My
preference would be to keep it as simple as possible for you folks at
RIT who have made this possible. That means no royalty bookkeeping I
guess. Let's make this a pure fun project free of venal concerns.

Except for not being retired from commercila photo vetures I have to
echo everything Don wrote. This, to me, was purely a fun thing.
