Yo' mama.
Books on electronics, even analogue, have a much bigger potential market than optics books. So far I've sold about one copy for every 3 members of the Optical Society, but that's still only about 6000 copies. Getting the same market penetration in the IEEE would be about 140,000 copies.
You have to amortize the cost over significantly smaller print runs. Besides, mine's over 800 pages of small print!

Hey! I bought a copy and I'm not even a member of the Optical Society ;-)
I'm somewhat cavalier when it comes to buying books... just one new good idea acquired makes it worth the cost. ...Jim Thompson
Agreed. Besides, I don't belong to the IEEE any more either.

Found, while cleaning up the website documentation...
Does anyone? The Benefit/Cost ratio has become _very_ poor.
Likewise I'm seeing rumblings on the MIT list... complaining about alumni being excessively charged for library access. ...Jim Thompson
