I find it ironic that you mention college text book prices. Since thinking about the cost of things like that... only tells you why many of us are often broke. >_> Like Allamorph said... gouging at it's finest! XP
Anyway, best of luck with the launch of premium and everything.
Textbooks are like that, unfortunately. I've found that buying used saves a ton, but is still killer on the bank account. I never even needed my one geology book and it was $80.
...but you seem to understand starving artists and those starting out aren't made of money. That speaks volumes, man.
I'm not interested in going into the arts but I am interested in reading your book, especially Art Of Otaku. You should put more time into promoting it, or else not everyone will recognize the work you put into it or the good information.

I'm still thinking about it xD Er, can I give you a giftcard instead.. LOL *shot* but I'll probably get the premium account anyway.

@Allamorph:
That's probably because collegiate textbook prices are the worst cases of gouging you'll ever see. No book is worth $150.
So very true...
Anyway, I would find reading it for fun interesting, but I'm not an artist in any sense. :p

Well, maybe some of Tolkien's or Bradbury's. But not that stuff.
