Our choices come down to: Price the titles as we have, or do not offer them in print at all.

Offering those books in color POD would cost too much staff time, which is limited. If we decided to adapt all of the books to work as color POD titles, we would have to stop producing new GURPS works for . . . months? Unsure.

If the demand was there, we would reprint color hardcovers. The numbers show us that B&W POD books, which is what we are currently offering, is the best way to keep the books in print at this time.
