Description

Excerpt from Report of State Printer Concerning Investigation of the Cost of Publication of School Books by the State<br/><br/>I assume that the royalties paid by publishing houses, or the prices paid for copyrights, vary according to the character of the manuscript, the reputation of the authors, and the de gree of their necessities. I find, however, on consulting with old established publishing houses that royalties range from ten per cent. To twenty per cent. I have, therefore, in making my estimate of the cost of publishing school books, taken the middle ground and assumed that the average royalty that would have to be paid would be in the neighborhood of fifteen per cent. I think it might be found, however, that in many cases it would be economy in the long run to buy the copyright rather than to pay annual royalties. In making up my estimate of publishing the school books by the state I also took into consideration the amount of money which would be necessary to expend in the way of new build ings and additional equipment, the interest on this investment by the state, the depreciation in the value of buildings and equipment, and the additional cost for coal and labor at the state heating plant that would be made necessary in furnishing the heat and power for the enlarged printing plant.
