SENSE AND SENSIBILITY - JANE AUSTEN (1811): In 1811, the Military Library publishing house in London accepted the manuscript for publication, in three volumes. Austen paid for the book to be published and paid the publisher a commission on sales. The cost of publication was more than a third of Austens annual household income! She made a profit of £140 (almost £8,000 in 2014 money) on the first edition, which sold all 750 printed copies by July 1813. More here: shortlist/entertainment/books/the-30-best-debut-novels#item-2
