"The 'Little Prince' is the group's main business this year... Anna, do you know what this means?" Osborne asked.
"I know, this book is very important to the Scholastic Publishing Company, and it's also important to you," Anna said softly.
Making a book is indeed very expensive.
Especially with 'The Little Prince' being a hardcover classic-style work, the paper used is thickened pure paper from Holland, costing three to five times more than the lightweight paper commonly used in ordinary publications.
In the context of rising prices in the paper and printing industry over the recent years, the initial print run ordered by the group is still in the hundreds of thousands.
And that's just the printing.
The promotional costs are even more astonishing.
