Butterfly books (Butterfly Romance Series) just started a new series of romance books (stage of setting price). This is different from M&B and Harlequin, the characters are Nigerians, and locale mostly major cities in Nigeria. It is well researched and well written.

At what price do you think Nigerians will be willing to buy these books and how best do you think one can handle circulation and publicity. It will be nice to hear a different perspective from our in house one. we have thought of many strategies-but hey the public can help a lot

Thank you.

When it comes to pricing a reader will consider the following: the over all quality of the book itself, ie binding, cover, print etc. If it's going to come out of its binding before I finish chapter one then that's not quality.

And then there's the quantity: the longer the book, the more it might cost. I mean a 5,OOO word novel and a 40,OOO word novel: which one would I pay more for? The one with more words of course!

That said, it's really mostly about the content. A book is only as good as the writer, no matter how fancy the cover or the package is. The writing has to be good.

In conclusion, a reasonable book price would be around N1500 - N1750. People spend much more on some of those glossy Nigerian fashion mags these days.
