Christoph,

These are usual conditions. However, these depend on the country, the language, the topic of your thesis, the price of sale of the book, and the publisher. The conditions of the contract may be quiet different. In most cases, theses do not sell so well - but again, these depends on the topic. In case that you do not have to pay for publishing the book, I would say that these conditions rather fair. To be sure, you should ask one or two other publishers for their offer.

Regards,

Wolfgang

Thanks for the reply. The topic is football history between England and Germany.

I would say this offer is quite low in my field (Medicine). But as Dr Wolfgang said above, may be this differs among different fields. I support the advice of asking other publishers as well.

Mom: 1 copy

Girlfriend: 1 copy

Supervisor: maybe 1 copy

=====================

Grand total: 3 copies.

Rather visit your local copy shop and bookbinder.

I will support the fact that you need to know what other publishers offer. Also, do a background check on this present publisher to be sure of what you are getting into

Totally agree with Wolgang, it is rather acceptable, especially as a start in authoring and publishing books, then after you would have a name in publishing, things may go far better.

Adding a reputed name in your field to the authors can cause an enhancement to the offer.

Offer is quite low.
