Comment on selling limited editions of my paintings? by Jeanne B

The traditional way to sell prints of art work is to charge just one price for the lithograph. The original piece is then more valuable, and is sold for considerably more than the prints. I can’t address the legal issues -I’d consult an art lawyer for that. But the integrity of your art is at stake, so if you raised the price of the lithographs (if that’s the method you chose for your prints) it would make you seem untrustworthy and greedy.

If your reproductions are popular, raise the price of new pieces you have done. Once the first lithographs are sold, you do not have more made of the same art work, only new work. Your popularity will rise with each new piece, so charging more for the new work is appropriate. This is usually done by galleries that specialize in this. They become the "go between" between your patrons and yourself. If there are complaints about the raise in price, the gallery is adept at handling that because of their experience.

There is nothing wrong with having your own website to sell your work. It’s just more work for you. You have to arrange for accepting payments, deal with bad checks or stolen credit cards, annoying people who seem to have nothing better to do than constantly email you, etc. Yet, you can do it all. Do be sure to get the guidance and direction of an experienced art lawyer. You may have to travel to find one, they are not a dime a dozen like personal injury lawyers. You might find one more easily in Los Angeles or New York. Don’t accept the word of a lawyer who is not an art lawyer, the real deal has experience you can’t trade for law book research.

When you advertise your limited edition print you will need to state how many are in the edition and what the price will be. It would be best to state ”while supplies last” or ”for a limited time only”. During that period i would not change the price. What usually happens is, by the time you find out if a print is in high demand you will have run out and the secondary market kicks in.

The Firefox browser has a place where you can report bugs in their program. I would suggest that you file a report so That they can do something about fixing the problem. The help section also shows ways to fix problems.

Comment on Which is better for self-publishing? by mikef

You might want to check out http://www.e-booktime.com. Their website is very upfront and their prices look better than just about any POD I’ve seen. They are also a member of the better business bureau, and they have a 1-800 number which is prominently displayed on their home page.

Best of luck which every route you take.

I’ve "published" a personal artbook of my photoshop projects through lulu.com, but I made just one copy. They’re reliable as far as I’m concerned.

I, too, have been considering this as well…but am afraid to take the plunge, as I have heard a lot of negative things about publishing in this manner. I will be interested to read your responses as well.

Comment on Has anyone worked with BookSurge? by Anna M

HUGE area of contention and discussion among self publishers.
Join the yahoo group for self publishers and read all of the back messages about it. Many refer to articles that cover the whole debate. Booksurge has a very bad rep in terms of quality, but the story is more complicated than that.

Contrary to what many people say against self-publishing, it’s not as bad as some would make it out to be.

There have been many books of good quality that have been self-published; books that have been recognized and honored by different book festivals and award giving bodies.

It is always to your advantage to evaluate all your options when it comes to publishing your book. Assess the pros and cons of each option, consider the suggestions of other as well, so you can come up with an informed decision based on your research and on what is best for you, not on someone’s opinion or experience of a publishing process.

With that said, I would suggest that you check out sites like Xlibris.com, which is a self-publishing company. You can go to their website and see for yourself what they have to offer.

If you find that what you need isn’t there, you could always go to traditional publishing houses or other publishing options. There are many choices if you leave your mind open to all the possibilities.
