Helping with Adventurer Party Management

A little more, I'm going to pack my ideas.

What to do first to lower the price per booklet.

Besides, it still maintains some quality.

"There are ways to use the skin of another monster, such as a demon wolf or a demon pig, not parchment paper, but the skin of people who are relatively, not disgusting. There are other ways to write on thin plates, not skins."

Plates, clay plates, etc. are alternative materials used in times when parchment and paper are expensive.

But Sarah disagrees with that.

"But the board's gonna crack right up, right?

"That's the problem. It is easy to crack when dropped, and carriage costs are higher because it is heavy and needs to be handled carefully. Besides, we can buy skins cheaply on leather streets, so we don't have much advantage in material costs."

"Right. I think we should stop playing board."

In this world, board materials are not very cheap. There are purchasing circumstances where we have no geographic (connections) in the lumber mill, and there are industrial structural challenges that cannot be carried out to a large extent because there is a monster threat to forest logging.

I have never checked it, but does it use about a large round saw powered by a water wheel cabin for the processing of the sheet material?

Somehow, I don't think technology has advanced that far.

"And then you want to try to reduce the size of the booklet? How big do you think Sarah is for a regular booklet?

"Yeah? Uh, about this much?

Sarah tried to show me the size of an A3.

In this world, books tend to be big and luxurious because they handle luxury goods.

Rich people like nobles and priests are the ones who order books, and they require the size and luxury of a back cover just commensurate with the amount spent.

Even in the original world, before the lid, it was fashionable to decorate encyclopedias and other things that I wouldn't even read for study decoration, but it would be something similar.

"Oh. I think a quarter of that size would be fine."

In short, a B5 size pocket library.

"Not small? Are you okay with a book that size?

"Certainly, the Book of God that Easter has is supposed to be about that size. I've seen it."

"Uh, yeah. I've seen the village priest have one, too, but that was a copy of a part of the Book of God himself, wasn't it? Kind of different, huh?

"If I could make it cheap, I wouldn't have a problem with it being small."

Words describe the discomfort Sarah is having, as follows:

In short, it would be expensive because it would be expensive if it were for sale. It's expensive, so it's luxurious and big.

On the other hand, if it's a note for me, it doesn't matter if it's small.

That's why few people thought about making the booklet smaller as a sale.

"And sometimes it's better to be small."

"For example?"

"First, you need to pay less for materials"

"But with the amount of content you write, don't you just get more pages?

"Parchment is made by cutting the area of skin. If it is small, it can be made with pieces of skin cut for other uses. So the cost of materials is bound to go down."

"Right. There's extra leather in the workshop after you make your shoes."

"And then, when it's small, it's easy to carry"

Smaller ones are easier to carry than larger ones. We are also planning to distribute it to churches throughout the kingdom, so in this world, where the logistics network is poor, we have never gone beyond the cost of transportation to be cheaper.

"Besides, if the booklet is small, you don't have to write extra details."
