Another question would be: do you know how much the publisher charges to DO what they do?

I think, *ideally* a publisher is a way for a group of artists to subsidize each other's work. "My recent book did really well so I'll invest some of that money into your work" and so on. Same kind of deal as a record label, in my mind. Of course, in reality, few publishers exist to do this at all.
