Hi :) if anyone does send the income&expenditure to the translators list it might be worth pointing out that it's only 1 book and not your best-seller. The disparity (imo) would raise the question otherwise.
With time being a crucial factor would it matter if they had older versions? Hopefully it might encourage people to come hunting for the more recent ones or at least just "raise the profile" of your excellent guides. Btw i have bought a couple of the guides and lend them out to co-workers and it raises their eyebrows when they seee the high quality. They suddenly realise it really is a professional quality program.
