group printing

There is a Facebook group trying to get the book printed and the more people who join the cheaper it is going to be for everyone. http://www.facebook.com/groups/FalloutEquestria/
Here is a copy paste of the faqs.
How much will this book cost?
Based on the 200 people we have right now the price should be expected to be around $80US not including shipping.
What are the shipping costs?
In the US shipping is $4.99 flat rate. However, shipping international tends to be quite a bit more expensive which should be considered before ordering a copy. There is also the additional shipping cost of getting the books to one of the major hubs in the first place but that is dependant on the number of books we get.
What are the shipping hubs?
The major shipping hub is at the moment, Alex Petzen's house where they will be shipped separately to everyone else. We are doing this because the printer will not ship to multiple locations. Minor hubs are people that live close by to others that have arranged to meet locally to distribute books so we can reduce shipping costs by sending just one person multiple sets.
How many copies are going to be printed?
As many as we can get people to sign up for. The more people that sign up the cheaper it is for everyone. We won't however, do any printing at all unless we can get at least 150 people to sign up.
How do I pay?
Right now we are leaning heavily towards a premier paypal account so that people can either do a money transfer or use a credit card. Using a card reqiures an additional fee so it is best if you can just do a direct transfer. However, at this time we don't have anything set up and are working to get it together by around the 23rd.
Is there an option for cover type?
Originally we had voted on getting a hard back binding because they lasted longer and looked nicer. Now we are only printing in hardcover because splitting the printing to include paperback would cause the individual cost to skyrocket.
What printer is used?
We are using the online service at bestbookprinting.com.
Can you ship to (insert country that isn't the United States)?
Yes
Book Information
The book is being printed as a cloth bound hard back with a foil stamped title and spine. The paper is #50 uncoated offset book paper. The entire story is split up into five separate volumes.
