It's true that there is a lot of self-published stuff on the net that is print-ready beautiful. But I really believe there's something else going on, and that is the effect of general affluence combined with the availability of ready-made at any price point.Years ago people had less disposable income, audio was a far higher percentage of take home pay, and the range of choices was more limited than it is today. All this has combined to reduce the “necessities” earlier associated with DIY and I believe can be directly correlated with the decline in audio oriented publishing.
