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’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
