Dear All,

I have begun discussions with a publisher for whom one of our faculty
members is producing a book for commercial distribution.  There are audio
ancillary materials to accompany this text -- essentially a transcript of
100 pages of dialogues, vocab, etc.  I initially told the publisher's rep
that we'd do the recordings, editing and mastering for nothing, since I had
been thinking of this as faculty development, rather than as a commercial
issue. (insert sound of hand slapping forehead repeatedly) Now I'm
rethinking my answer, in light of some additional input ...

My question: considering that we'll be setting up, recording, editing and
mastering approximately six full-length audio CDs -- what's that worth?
Reasonably.

Thanks,

a.
