We think print 1,000 copies . , My friends - you know , to museums to send

so-coll, a noble goal , but before you rely on a number of copies, just try to figure out how many friends - friends and many museums of the future will be expected to catalog. Make copies with a margin of, say, a hundred pieces, but it will be psychologically worse, if the extra copies will be based on the mountain before the eyes, because they have nowhere to put it.
Of course, the smaller the number of copies, the higher the cost, but here especially for the cheap chasing , in my opinion , not worth it - better for your case the optimal number of copies, and not a penny dimes ...

I have 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 .

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 .

Some galleries issue galleries (modest for a clip , but quite presentable ) for exhibitions of artists, and then ( years) selling in the gallery shop and a gallery- sayt.Pribyli ( intuitive ), I do not see any albums for £ 2,5 - £ 3 ( maybe even this cost) ...

No system allows this to sell albums.

You can also sell at their shows (I think Iksigon offered once ..)

Very interesting idea ... (do not an album to a specific exhibition, and as correctly noted by the COP, "as a great business card", the presentation of the artist)
