Linen Press books cost £4 a copy to produce, for several reasons. Firstly, because the small print runs of 1,000 books that I commission aren't cost-effective. Secondly, because I want to produce books that are visually stunning and pay a brilliant designer to do that. And thirdly because I pay a better-than-average copy editor, because if you skimp at this stage, you end up with typos and a bad reputation. Linen Press produces classy books; anything less would be a compromise.

So from the tone of her post, she's hiring world class talent to produce print runs of 1,000 books. Yeah. That's going to work well.
My suggestion would be she find a way to "compromise" and get the cost of her "classy" books down to a level where she can make a profit.
