Breakdown of book costs
Here is a breakdown of book costs I found at Askdavetaylor.com:
$50 list price book
$25 to publisher
-4 for printing
-5 for inventory and obsolence
-2-3 for royalties
-5 for selling and marketing
-5 for overhead and warehousing
-1 for co-op
-2 for editorial and marketing
He goes into additional detail including that a majoe expense can be the warehousing costs, up to 40%, but that there numbers are typical.
