Some people have commented that The Enchanted Amulet is quite expensive in some bookstores. Although you can now pick it up for about £5 online, it's true that in some shops it's as much as £12! I'm not happy with this and I'm trying to get the price down, however there are many legitimate reasons why it is so high. Firstly, most young adult novels are between 20,000-40,000 words in length. My book is approximately 70,000. Most paperbacks are printed on inexpensive paper, which will discolour and disintegrate over time, and are bound using the cheapest materials. Mine displays a high quality gloss jacket cover and is printed on acid-free paper. Most novels appear in the standard ‘pocketbook’ format and are 7”x 4.3”. Mine is 8”x 5”. Most novels contain just written text. Mine contains a detailed map, list of contents, chapter titles in the header, and a twelve-page lexicon. Most novels are not formatted properly. Words are often squeezed onto a line, or are separated by large spaces, making passages very difficult to read. Mine has been formatted over twenty times. Hope that clears up some of the confusion! :)
