How much will it cost?
Texts can vary enormously in length, density, complexity and layout.
Generally projects work out between £2.00 and £2.50 per page, with some specialist publications
requiring a higher rate.
Factors affecting the cost include: density of text; density of indexing; author and research references;
figures, tables, diagrams; consultation of author; use of reference sources; amendments
to proofs; timescale available for work; special layout .
Conversely a well spaced text with broad overviews would work out less.
