That is, after writing a worthwhile book. It can be done. I just recently did my piece of typesetting a second edition of a book for which I'd done design and layout on the first edition. They'd sold the 10,000 copies they'd had printed of that first edition. I like to think it was my design made people buy all out in about a year.
