Note: The cost of color books is significantly more than black and white books. When you select color printing (the "Full color pages" option in the publishing wizard), costs $0.15 for every page in the book, not just the pages with color. The printing costs for a 100-page, perfect bound, 6" x 9" color book would be $19.53 ($15.00 printing + $4.53 setup).
