What price for custom printed books?

2006-01-10 by Greg

Well in the last week, we've seen many options, from ultra cheap, to 
DIY and expensive. So what price would you consider good? This being 
for say an 8x10 on a nice acid free double sided semigloss (like an 
offset press semigloss)with between 20 and 50 pages in a hardcover 
binding (sewn or glued, but not a post type binding). Pigment inks of 
course, from some kind of inkjet at fairly high resolution. Short 
runs only (on demand type of thing). Completely color managed, with a 
gamut of at least what a typical press can produce (similar to SWOP 
v2), but with extended gray inks for better highlights.

And the final question, what kind of market do you think there is for 
something like this?
