04-18-05, 02:31 PM I remember reading a good article that explained the cost breakdown of the D&D books - or, presumably, and RPG book.

Things like printing cost, retailer margin, distribution etc etc.

But now I can't find it.

Can anyone help me out?

Seriously, if you made that many typos or editing errors in a high school assignment, you would have had to redo it, or failed.

**Failed happens in the RPG world. It's called a lay-off.
