    Best to put this into perspective...

    I am in the process of writing 300 pages for a company and they are buying those 300 pages off me for the very reasonable price £35k

    I'm sure the literature they are getting is far less interesting than your book so I would think that at £430 its a bargain!!

      I'm not convinced that a book about Soft Ferrites and transformer design can altogether be classed as interesting, but hey! opinions differ...

        Never said it could be interesting, but I bet you would rather read that whilst sat by a pool than read a policies and procedures manual!!!

          I had a contract at Hawkers many years ago and accidentally stumbled across the policies and procedures manuals. Really enjoyable read. I discovered how to order office supplies and all sorts of fun things such as a decent desk and chair. Works accountant got really upset about it.

            I suspect you may be correct...

              I discovered the library service at one place... magic...

              Lots of very useful books.

                I had my car nicked when there were a load of work loan books in it. They thought nothing of it and said not to worry. What I didn't tell them is that I forgot that I didn't leave the books in the car.
