Default Books about tea: assembling a good list

Thanks..........

If I do get it translated, you will of course get a free copy
immediately. Do you think that it would sell at, say, $9.95? I
estimate I'd have to pay around $2,500 to handle the translation, book
setup and POD publisher's fees. I wouldn't be looking to make a profit
but I'd like to avoid a loss.
