Re: REF: Online verses Print

I would be interested in either offer, but my income is much higher than
members who might be retired and on fixed incomes.  I would probably be more
likely to buy the printed version if the volumes were offered for sale one
at a time so the price did not seem so high. If your volume 1 is ready you
might consider getting it printed and see how it sells. At any rate let me
know when you release your volumes for sale.           Sincerely,

I know that many people like myself would like to have both. As Harold
pointed out the problem lies in whether something that is available online
can muster the numbers of people necessary to keep the print publishing
within a reasonable cost.

purchase a printed version and seem people would want both. The real
question lies in those who would have purchased the printed matter but defer
because it is now online.
