Default Book on hold

Got a reply from the publishers yesterday -

\"Dear Mr Storey,
We would love to publish your book blah de blah, please send us a cheque for £9,000........... or £7,000 if you want it in paperback. That means I need to sell 2000 books to get my money back. Can I have a show of hands before I jump in with both feet?

Being realistic I will now choose the print to order option which is \"only\" £1300. Spent last night copying the chapters to one document then trying to convert it to a new pdf file, then trying to get the computer to accept that THERE WAS a CD in the bloody D drive ............then I bought a bottle of Grouse and turned it all off.

Will update you on the horrors of Great Wyrley tomorrow.
