Model Basis: Conservative projections at $3.50 blended margin per unit. Modern English editions priced at premium ($6.99–$9.99) with 2–3× sales velocity over plain reprints. 20% of catalog becomes meaningful earners; 60% low-but-steady; 20% minimal movement.
Daniel's Note: Revenue is secondary to building the catalog. Every book published is a permanent income-producing asset. The compound effect kicks in at months 4–6 when cross-recommendation algorithms begin working across the full catalog.
Modern English Leverage: ★★★ titles in Modern English are the real money lever — capable of $500–$1,500/month each at maturity. The plain reprints build catalog depth and cross-discovery.
