inputs sought on publiocation of Lojban reference grammar

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@ACCESS.DIGEX.NET>]

One proposal for publishing thereference grammar presumes that it will be
approximately 600 pages in print.  In the interest of a high quality first
edition, this proposal would be for a hardbound book, which these days adds
only around US$2-3 to the price.  We need to make a profit on the reference
grammar in order to finance publication of the dictionary, which will probably
be more expensive to produce.

So we are asking, without actually offering said book yet:

If the Lojban reference book, in hardbound at 600 pages were being offered
at $30, would you buy it, and how many copies would you buy?
If it were offered at $40, would you buy it and how many copies would you buy?
 If you are not in the US and would seek a reduced price based on your
local economy being inconsistent with the high prices of US books, what
amount could/would you pay in order to recieve a copuy of the book.

To clarify, some form of the book will be available on the net in HTML format
so that you will not be forced to buy the hardbound in order to get a copy.

Responses to this survey will be used by the group supervising publication
to set the final parameters of publication.

Thank you for your response.
