The Changing Face of PublishingI was looking at several old railroad ti-

tles in my own library which dated to the1950s-1960s. Some were the seventh or eighthprinting; a second or third edition. You prob-ably remember some of the pioneers in ourindustry: Howell-North, Golden West, Su-perior, and even Bonanza. In the good olddays, it was not unusual for a book to havemultiple printings, resulting in literally 5, 10,or even 20,000 copies in print.

The high cost of equipment and softwareback then meant that only a select few wereable to enter and stay in the railroad bookbusiness. Printing and paper costs were com-paratively low back then. It isn’t unusual tofind some of these old books with original$4.95 to $14.95 retail price tags still on the dustjacket end flap. Five or ten new titles per yearseemed to be the norm. Today, it seems wesee five or ten new titles per month; price tagshave jumped to as much as $100.00 retail. Al-though some publishers still produce 2-3,000copies of a book, that is the exception. Mostprint runs are much lower; 1,000 copies orless is now routine for many small presses.

The trend among model railroad manu-facturers is that new locomotive or laser crafts-man kit releases will either be made-to-orderor limited to 1-200 pieces total—at prices inthe hundreds of dollars each for some spe-cialties! In other words, if you don’t place anorder well in advance—the buyer may haveto pay for it up front too—you will not getone. While that is not happening with thebook industry yet, print runs will be less sobuyers will need to be mindful about that.Shorter press runs equal higher unit costwhich means higher selling prices to recoverthe investment.

The good news is that we have more newrailroad titles to choose from than ever before.And that’s the bad news. The market “pie” isshrinking to some degree which means morenew titles dilute the available sales. Produc-ing a top quality book—from a content andproduction stand point—is essential to longterm stability and growth. Thankfully, theprinting industry continues to invest in highend presses and Direct-to-Plate technology.That allows publishers like ourselves to con-tinually improve our work.

DSP has learned that the US paper pro-ducers lobby is trying to get Congress to placea stiff tariff on low-cost foreign paper becauseUS producers want to enact a major priceincrease to boost margins. Over the last fiveyears, one US coated paper converter exitedthe business due to low margins, leaving fourdomestic producers. Paper accounts for about40% of the production cost of a book. Demandfor all types of books is still strong, so expectsubstantial upward pressure on all newAmerican-produced books yet this year.
