RE: framework question

Colin,

But still you're not actually dealing with publishing 5 million titles are
you?

The whole number of items things was with respect to pricing.  Not just sell
price but things like WIP (Work In Progress) and standard cost (of
materials/labor) which is pretty specific AFAIK to a manufacturer as opposed
to a distributor.

You've gotten me kinda curious though about how publishers work.  I suppose
they still have to have WIP and standard cost, but it seems it could be
considerably simplified from what other manufacturers have to deal with.
Also, just how many titles does a large publisher publish?
