re: #49 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Walter? Hi!

I heard a news story on Fox (believe it or not)… One of the things that comes out of this… is with California’s budgetary problems, the State of Texas (by far) is the largest purchaser of Textbooks… What publishers print for Texas, because of economies of scale, makes those schoolbooks much less expensive for other states.

It is far less expensive to print one copy of five million textbooks than it is to print one copy of three million, two million, etc.

Maybe… I can’t find any direct references to how that works now a days, I’m not sure if that is really accurate information from Fox. Hell, if someone wanted to print a cookbook, one based on recipes from a blog, they could do it now a days one copy at a time, and make changes in the middle of a publication run, make changes in minutes.

I’ve heard it’s been done somewhere.
