This is a really nice find. 

FWIW, the model is produced using a style of model called "system dynamics" and it would be a great methodology to use for modeling the kinds of modeling tradeoffs discussed on this list.  <see analytic modeling comments on this list 9/27 under "Greetings List">

There is a free (as in the sense of beer) version of the tool used by the author Terry Maxwell (biblio ref:
Ventana, 2000. Vensim 4.0 Manual. Harvard, Mass.: Ventana Systems. ) The application can be downloaded from:
 
http://www.vensim.com/download.html

His code is listed at the end of the article but I'll contact the author and see whether we can get an original copy.

"while the authorsÂ’ position led to the largest number of authors, it also generated the lowest sales figures, and the fewest number of volumes published"
"Similarly, while the reader position generated the highest level of sales, the greatest number of different volumes, and the lowest cost for books, it also severely constrained the number of authors"
