For a starter, I'm having a hard time understanding how a 367-page book
could have "thousands" of full-color (four-color, I assume) illustrations.
Or was this a typo? Did you mean 3670 pages? Then it weights 5 pounds? I
just weighed my copy of the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary, tenth
edition, over 1500 pages. It weighs about two pounds. How heavy is the stock
you're using? Where did you have the color separations done? What kind of
binding? And then you are charging $250. plus handling and shipping?
Something is amiss here.
