Do not cover, and cover.
Binding is now glued (not glued even remember when was the last time I ever saw)

[Seriy]

On the publication of a paper clip can fasten up to 48 pages, more-binding.

However a prerequisite for them in this series is the location illyustatsy in the text.
Sometimes the " White City " for free publishes books for artists, but the author with copies to the publisher exclusive rights to transmit .

is not binding, and the cover.

Businesses formulate "the form of binding," as reported kozhinart.

Magnolia, the modern firm " covers " of two kinds: sshivnye ( actual cover) and laminated (which technically does not actually intertwined and would be more correct to call it " sticky "- passed the old name )
Paperback ( as noted by Sergei, 48 pages) may be on the clip.
It is clear, "professional " you ours?

clear ?

I had long been clear.
Appetites " artists , laborers ' , such that by paying customers , users of the authors , that is, the creators of the work, gets shish !

Look at the conditions of publishing the "White City" . They get paid a little to the cost of the car. They still want to steal from the author of a commercial profit: will be placed on the turned his PR 2000 copies , and author, paid him an order making the book will rot over the years its 1,000 copies in the barn.
Well, give friends books 10-50 . Burn down a present , is not it?

These predators are gradually stifle creativity.

Oh . Burn down a present , is not it?

The author of the album artist is not to calculate the " business profits" from sales of this album , there are other interests .
And the albums often heard - " give to friends 10-50 books ", up to half of the draw, if not the entire edition diverges precisely as "gifts" , but in fact it is the promotion of svvoego author's investment in his work in his name , promotion , so to speak.

Many times wanted to publish something about yourself . Onetlenitsya , but every time the thought occurs , what to do with circulation. No system allows this to sell albums. Previously, a system of kiosks and shops engaged in promotion and they have implemented all the products , such as the publishing house " Soviet Artist ". Now it is very expensive and therefore not available. You have described how, but just do not take to the store . Makes no sense .

Yes, and most albums are heard

 

I can see how they are distributed at trade shows at 2-5 thousand rubles for the 12-48 page "under the paper clip" in the soft (paper 150g) binding.
It is ridiculous to ask "Who is the owner of the print run?"

[Seriy]

What about the fact that the albums , " often heard " - is more than an exaggeration. The album is quite a popular artist can make a profit. Sam was a witness - like hot cakes selling album of 1000 rubles Kokorina in CHA - what was sold during the exhibition hundreds of pieces is obvious, and maybe more . Many galleries decent selection of artists and albums they sold them , so that has to print additional editions . Little-known artists have to be flexible , but giving away right and left their albums do not advise -if necessary - buy if you do not need a throw - presented .
