Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

On top of the normal price, or altogether, cause I don't know what the average price of a decent notebook is these days.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

Not revealing how much I'd pay for the sake of science, but it'd have to be a really nice notebook to get the price I said I'd pay.  (I mean aside from the cover, good bindings and enough paper etc, I can get a crap notebook for a dollar and just print nice artwork out to tape to it if I want a bad quality one)

to give you an idea I have a crappy hardcover labbook with a shitty cover I paid 10 dollars for

Softcover. Hardcover would definitely be more. Looking about 40 blank pages, the size of a pocket book (4"x6") range.

I put 10$, but that really depends on how much NSFW porn is on the cover....

True.

It looks like $10 is the standard. That means I need to try to keep it at a low overhead so I can still make a profit. Right now 75 pages is going to run me about $6 each to be manufactured, not counting in any sort of bulk discount if I do purchasing directly. So if I want 100% profit, I'll have to sell for $12 online, and probably $10 at-show.

I hate investing in merchandise. Sometimes it sells, sometimes it really sells, or sometimes I'm looking at the same tired-old bad coloring books I ordered in 2004.  :x

I love your art, but one of the reasons that I love to write in moleskines is because they're black and boring-looking on the cover (I also like to use the hardcover ones). No one really looks twice at my notebooks. I like that.
Be the trouble you want to see in the world.

For me, it depends what the art actually is.  So, I opted for bacon.

I'd buy it if the blank pages were made out of Benjamins.

BTW: My published book was just submitted for Kindle. I'll let you know if it's accepted.
