Hi Chas,

Looking forward to talking with you after Meeting tomorrow, and thank you!

In general, my questions are 5:

1) How best to publish my Harbin manuscript to paper, and also via Google Books and Google Library project, for example online

(more about these here -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/08/baby-philippine-flying-lemur-with.html )? (See this link below too).

2 What's the structure of a publisher like Inner Light Books (http://innerlightbooks.com/) vis-a-vis our startup WUaS Academic Press?

3) What's the financial structure like of a publisher such as Inner Light Books ?
Fixed costs to print a book? How many in first run?
For authors?
Editors?
Distributors?
Retailers? Plus ...

4) What are best steps for scaling bigger in your experience - eg working with multiple editors, graduate students as editors, +?

5) How could WUaS be of help to Inner Light Books ?

WUaS is seeking to become a kind of great multilingual Academic Press in the sense of esp. the Grateful Dead.

Thank you!
Scott
