I am a local architect and I am in the middle of compiling a book of ideas for extending a Victorian terraced house. This book will consist of various case studies of different kinds/sizes of Victorian terraced house, showing different plan options (annotated) for each floor with photos or 3D sketches showing how these ideas would look.


I have had publishing offers from the RIBA (10% of book sales, they pay for all production and distribution) and Artifice (33% of book sales, but I pay 50% of publishing and distribution costs, which I think will amount to holf of around ?40,000 for 1000 copies). Neither seems that attractive. I am therefore turning to you to ask your advice. Should I go with one of the offers or do I risk it and self publish? One of the big questions is how many copies do I think will sell. There currently isn't anything else like it on the market.


What do you think? Do you think it will sell? Would you buy it? Anyone had experience of publishing?


Any advice much appreciated

      I've not engaged in this debate so far but you can't be more wrong. In the UK our own language is English, there is a small minority who can rightly claim their language is Welsh or Gaelic, and a couple Cornish. British Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, atheists etc will usually speak British, even if not their first language.  The vast majority will be able to understand English.   A small percentage, less than two percent, of people living in the UK have little or no English (census data).  It is right that in certain situations eg schools there is signage and information in other languages, providing public information. It is wrong that a political party do this, particularly one who came across as opportunist on this occasion. There is an interesting conversation about British expats living, for example, on the continent, where I expect huge swathes who can hardly say a word of French, Spanish etc.
