Full Description

Amendment 3 - The purpose of this amendment is to clarify a question we received that stated, "Since we are not given a clear estimated number of copies (2 to 150), are we to provide the total cost to create one initial hard copy master of the book? Or are we to assume 150 copies and base a price per copy relevant to that?" Our answer to that question is: "Please provide the cost to create one (1) copy of the book based on an average order of 102 copies per title. While NLS may, from time to time order between two (2) and 150 copies of a title, NLS currently orders 102 copies per title and we anticipate the majority of upcoming orders will be for approximately that many copies per title." This amendment is to clarify any confusion that may have come from Amendment 2. Please disregard Amendment 2, and use this amendment instead as a replacement of Amendment 2.
