I received my book publishing quote in U.S. $s.

$23 to convert my book into their format
$32 to add barcode to sell book
$112 for template book cover design
$895.60 for editing and proofreading
plus the 10 book minimum purchase and shipping for that
I decided to take care of the copyright myself at about $40, plus shipping to send it to the copyright office in D.C.

So I'm looking at over $1000 to make my dream come true, which I will do even if it kills my family to watch me fail. I'm guessing about over 200 books must be sold to get my money back at 40% royalties from the publisher. Post later. Bye!
