For everyone who offers Auskabooks, please help me on pricing.
for some reason I cant justify charging $600 for a 20 page book.
What do you charge?

depends on the book. I rarely use Asuka because for it to be worth to me I have to charge 400 - 600 for a book. Not really somehting a lot of my clients go for. Most of my customers like the Blurb books I do. Much more reasonably priced. www.blurb.com (external link)

Please be careful discussing album pricing on a public forum. Brides do come here and read your posts. ;)

I'll send you a PM, since I don't discuss this type of thing in public forums. One way to price things is cost + time. So say you wanted to earn $10/hour (which is just a number for the sake of discussion, not a suggestion), it would take you 20 hours, and the book cost you $50 to buy, then you could price it at ((20 x 10) + 50) = $250. Note that these numbers are nothing like the real costs of time or books.
