CafePress whiffed badly on book pricing. The base fee is five bucks per book for saddle stitch or wirebound, and six bucks per book for perfect bound. On top of that, they’re charging six cents per page, and that’s printed page rather than physical page.

A 250 page paperback would have a base cost of $21. A 32 page comic book would have a base cost of $6.60. Profit margins are optional. I don’t think this’ll take off.

They're insane.

On the other hand, a 128-page perfect-bound 8.5x11 gaming book would cost $10.84. You could make that a 350-page book for $17.50. That's extremely reasonable if you're printing individual books.
