I'd be willing to pay $30-$40 initial cost, but would expect to be able to get the revisions for no cost then.
With the revision model, I'd pay the initial $10 and then $3-$9 per revision (depending on what's in the revision). It's an interesting model then, because I can choose to not purchase sections/revisions that I am not interested in. Thanks for doing this, Jack. Very excited!

I'm in no way affiliated with them, just have positive personal buying experience. One can and I regularly give more than what author requested as min price. For such a work of 1k pages, would definitely pay more than $10. Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
