I guess I should ask my friend again what his estimate is for the amount of time he takes to put a book together. I can't remember now, but I don't believe it was thirty hours per book. And the books he puts out are of higher quality than many small press books I've purchased (though those have gotten better).

You can ask your friend, of course, but if you've ever looked at the MR library you will be aware that I have created literally hundreds of ebooks, which I'd like to think are of reasonable quality, so I do speak with some confidence when I say that 30h is a rather conservative estimate for the length of time it takes to properly proofread a typical novel.
