Hello Chaps,
to save too much debate re the book business yes i do make a profit which is modest much to the frustration of the Tax man. As we are all too aware this is a small community and there are not 1000's queing to obtain the latest Northern Mines Volume. I am a mining enthusiast and see myself providing a service rather than turning a profit - all too often we see over priced volumes available on the net or ebay.
I give an example 4 weeks ago a the Miners Flame lite book sold on ebay for £155 if they had come to me - well i leave you to judge
Mike
