Well, it's a win if they can successfully sell fiction. It's a very different market than their traditional one, and success in one does not guarantee success in the other. And ebooks aren't as much cheaper as most folks assume. At least 80% of the costs of any book are incurred before it reaches the stage of being released, in print or electronic editions.

Still, I have to love an imprint that emphasizes design, and one of their links (not working, alas) is for the typefaces they use and where to purchase the fonts. (I was a designer before I became a computer geek.)

How did you happen to wind up working with them?
