The costs of producing a China book printing book usually come under two headings. The fi xed costs are incurred before the book printing presses roll and do not change whatever the quantity of books ordered. They may include:
|D sums paid to external readers, translators, or contributors, |D legal fees ¡§C for example, if the book needs to be read for libel, |D permission fees for the use of third-party copyright material (text and
illustrations), unless paid for by the author, |D payments to freelance copy-editors, proofreaders, illustrators, and designers (for both text and the cover), |D indexing, if not done by the author, although this charge may be put against the author?¡¥s royalties, and |D payments to suppliers for typesetting, origination of illustrations, proofi ng, corrections.
The variable costs occur after the presses start to roll and depend on the quantity of books ordered. They include the costs of printing and binding, and the paper consumed. The quantity ordered would be the sales estimate plus an allowance for copies wasted or gratis copies given away, for example for review purposes. The total production costs are the sum of the fixed costs and the variable costs.
