I could really use some feedback on what writers might feel OK paying for a certain kind of book. I need to give my cover designer the price within a couple of days.
I'm both a lawyer and a writer, and am getting ready to publish a reference book for writers about the law. (It's called Closest to the Fire: A Writer's Guide to Law and Lawyers.) It's well over 600 pages, and is meant as a place to look up particular topics as well as to browse for topics that could provide good story material. The minimum price I can pick and still make a pittance on B&N's online store is $22.99. I'm wondering whether writers who found the basic idea of interest would be willing to pay $23.99 or $24.99 for such a book.
I promise I won't take any opinions expressed as any sort of promise to buy the book, at the suggested price or any other! :-)
