I remember when I self-published my first book in 1974. My wife worked for the local newspaper, so she was a lot of help. I couldn't have done it without her. The way you got the text and clipart on the page was call (Cut & Paste) and it was nothing like the cut & paste of today. All you old timers might now what I'm talking about. If I remember correctly. It cost about $165. Dollars for a few hundred copies. I sold them to the folks at work for 75C each. I made enough to pay the printing costs and still have a few copies left.
