This sounds interesting! I'll have to try and remember this.
Did they say when it was going to come out? |

So, I guess that means the B&N exclusives where a test run and did well. And apparently don't count. At least I assume that's what these "bunkobons" are.

| Quote: | | For example, the decision whether or not to include color pages in manga is driven almost entirely by profitability considerations. Printing color pages adds significantly to the cost of printing a volume, so it may only be profitable for a first volume of a series, or for a first edition. |
I wonder how a limited edition version with color pages throughout (whatever the original Japanese title had) for a higher price would sell and fit into the economic model (I look at what Dark Horse has done with the re-release of the early volumes of Oh My Goddess). For titles I really like, I'd spring for the limited edition titles with the color pages. |
