Self-Publishing Is About To Get More Expensive

I got an e-mail from Lulu Press today, indicating that around the end of the month they'll be increasing their prices due to escalating costs on their end. When I ran the numbers, it became apparent that future copies of the first AgileMan book, if I were to print any more after the end of October, will cost me about $2 - $3 more than they have in the past. What that means is that I'll have to start charging $25, rather than $20, in order to make more than just a few dollars per copy. I've still got 8 copies on hand that I can still sell for $20, but after that... (hint, hint).

It still looks like $30 will be the right price for the second book, as it'll be bigger and hopefully even better!
