I mean we had 40 copies printed and bound, and we sold out for a little 
more then the production cost. We probably gave 10 of those, so in total 
we might have not come even. But how exactly are we supposed to count this ?

Let's say, to save time and even money, you print the copies all at 
once, instead of producing them one by one. In effect, you're 
compensating for a lack of proper copying technology. How does that 
change the equation ?

I'll followup in my answer to Tomos.
