It still amazes me that at least outside of Asia there are just two companies that people will either pay or take their chances when it comes to manufacturing. The cost will be surprisingly low for the book, and or course free for the data. The CMYK pages are relatively easy to manufacture at low cost and spot printing 100's of colors is a challenge, but I have found an economical solution. In terms of other physical standard items nothing I currently have planned would be expensive including extra pages, swatches and samples. I am hoping to have the books available for the early adopters by the end of the year and everyone will have access to the palettes then too.
