I don't really understand this business strategy. If you limit the number of potential readers how do you grow your reader/fanbase? I don't know what sort of deal you would get with small publishers, but even assuming you get 50% of retail that would still only make about $8,000 per book. And this one was written by two people, so they would only get half of that each.
