Note that some of the above options are things I can't currently do because of my visa status. My intention for the moment would be to do this entirely on an at-cost basis, with me taking no part of any transaction (i.e you order a book or books direct from the printer/publisher at cost price). Prints I do like to give to people anyway, though the cost involved (to me) does put limits on that.
Also, this isn't in any sense committing anyone to buy anything -- I'm just trying to get a sense of what might and might not work for people, so even if you find yourself clicking the 'wouldn't buy it' option, I'd still be interested in your answers to the other sections.
In terms of likely cost, the bigger the book the more expensive it gets, so think about $15-20 for a paperback, $30 for a smaller hardback, $50-70 for a coffee table book (maybe more if it's really thick). The bound portfolio option will be spendy but gorgeous (think in the $200+ range, cost price is not that cheap). Unbound portfolios would be a bit less. I'm not sure about individual prints at this point, matted, unmatted or framed, because the not-being-seen-to-profit-from-it thing is trickier.
