Leon…
$60.00 is a bit steep for a book on Modula-2 programming for the Amiga?
Very shorty another company will be releasing a book and disk for around
$30.00. I work in a bookstore for a major chain (oops it is a major chain)
and bks like the one your offering rarely cost more than $40.00. In fact I
cannot remember ever seeing one. David
David:
I replied to your original message posted in AmigaTech forum. But just in
case you missed it. I realize you are working on your own Modula-2 book
and I wish you the best of luck with that project. When you actually
publish your book you can charge what ever price makes you happy.
The price I set for my book is based on the very small market it address
and based on the response from my customers, I would have to say the price
was right on target.
Thanks very much for your input david…

Leon…
I decided not to write my book on M2 instead I am pursuing other things.
I wish you luck since when I tested the market it appears that Amiga users
don't buy a lot of books on their beloved computer. I work in a book store
and we rarely have a request for Amiga bks and the ones we get don't sell
to well. I suppose you anticipated the low demand and that is why the price
is so high. Oh well… David
