And that will be a significant consideration.
If the publishing price per copy is too high (and me personally, I'm thinking that total cost of the book, including shipping, should be under $40) for information that is severely dated, there will not seem to be a lot of reason to pursue it--other than for some sort of addition to one's library.
Personally, I think we could make a much better book from contribution of the members right here.
We did write it.
CAST BULLETS FOR BEGINNER AND EXPERT

It started as writing down permanently what people wrote on the various forums. It has contributions from ~200 shooters, many from this site, and is updated on the site all the time. There are two editions printed, and a host of updates on the site that may cause a third edition.
We're always looking for corrections or additions.
The 500 page book comes to me from CAFEPRESS, the management here knows all about CAFEPRESS.
Send CAFEPRESS the disk with the book on it, in the correct format. Costs zero.
Anyone can order a copy from CAFEPRESS, 1 copy, for ~$28.
I order lots of 15, for ~$18 delivered. I recieve the request and check, pack and mail the copy, and the excess $$ goes to the ASSRA archives.
If you want to, get permission from the NRA, put the book in the correct format, and go the CAFEPRESS way, which works great for me and has ZERO up front costs and ZERO inventory, if you consider 15=zero.
Problem is, who'd buy it if WE wrote it? :)
About 500 people bought it so far.
