I've read all the warnings and promise you that I will NOT go with PA for any book that I hope to distribute to the public. However, I'm wondering if there are any circumstances under which PA would be a good way to go. I'm thinking maybe a family history or something like that where one only intends to give the book to their family. It seems like, in that case, PA would be great - you would get two free copies and can buy the others at a discount. If you are only considering getting 10 or 15 copies anyway, wouldn't that be an OK plan? No - I don't have a famly history book, but I'm trying to figure out what circumstances PA would be a good choice for.
