Prices are quite costly. I saw a service today by one of the guys that does the IWW going for between $10 - $20 / per page. With some services costing upwards of $2,500.
Holy ****! That would be $800 for my book. I don't think many self-pubbers have that kind of money.

With great respect, professional covers is not what I think of when I think of editing. The editing I would be paying for is of the type: "Drop the whole of chapter 2, or if you really need it, put in a paragraph which says the same thing in chapter 7." Or "You really need to develop X's character and background more so that his decision in chapter 19 is more believable."
