SOME OF THE BEST old books I have ever read, were done in full size paper, with full size pictures.
Size 11 font is as small as I will go and size 12 is actually best, because many people when we did the FREE newsletter bitched a fit over the small size 11 font, complaining they couldn't read it......probably because the average reader was past age 65.....so small book is not an option for me.
I have even obtained some books written back in the 1800's that the print was so small I struggled to read it.
An author that wrote 2 full size books in 1950 on general health and proper exercise about 100 or or pages in simple professional paper binding, charged $50 each per book.........which would be like charging way over $100 today.
In reality, every normal printing shop only does full size paper and has no book binding abilities other than cheap spiral binding....no one seems to have the ability to glue on a paper backing, which always left us to punching 4 holes in the pages and binding them with a plastic clip.
Shipping is the next hurdle, shipping a full size book is often more than a customer is willing to pay for...so even selling at cost + shipping makes a book too expensive...but larger places do it, because with out their free book, they never get the customers.................while 1 reason I have dragged my feet for years is that if I do make a paper book and put it in amish stores, I never will get retired and would be working 7 days a week to try to make and ship everything.......
It is very simple in America, once you make past $30,000.00 per year, you might as well give 1/2 of your income back to the welfare systems of government as you work so others don't have to work.
I am surprised the clark empire has never tried to buy us out as they have purchased up others for huge sums that just produce crap for the market...once brought out, then I could set back and writer tell all books...pretty much like Christopher did at the end....it is amazing how many small herbal companies are "FAKES", they were purchased and owned by larger companies who are also "FAKES" or unprofessional advertisers selling nothing but trash as herbal products......it is so terrible that I will say nothing sold on the internet is "safe" to buy when it comes to herbal products.....unless you know the people enough to know they are not lying to you....otherwise you may be getting a product with a faked name on it...these fake companies only exist on paper by way of faked websites taking orders and then rerouting to one central location...such as the clark empire does...making $$$ from 1 time sells, never carring if they hear from that customer again, because the largest profit comes from the first "bite" of impulsive buying after reading unbelievable website stories...stories that have cost such companies millions of $$$ in government fines, but to them a million is pocket change....
This type of organized sells has made authors come out of the wood work, writing any amount of lies for $$$$ so products can be sold......Dr. Morton Walker was very slick at this...he would take their $$$$ in exchange for writing books for them, but slip in enough INFO that a smart reader would not get suc***ed into buying the commercial brands.
