Dear Dr. Harkin,

I just took a look at the UI Press catalogue.  I note that they *were* 
offering over 85 books.  I do not know the individual publishing dates, and so 
perhaps some exceed the 30 year  parameters you set and your number of 41published 
books.  Nonetheless, they represent a unique collection, and certainly reflect 
the recent interest in and support for academic cooperation with Nez Perce 
people.  Sometimes intrinsic value is of far greater importance than a profit / 
loss statement.  The UI Press represents such a paradigm.  Did you consider 
comparable financial data on other academic presses?  It is my sense that most 
universities, particularly land grant institutions, routinely subsidize their 
academic presses, if they are fortunate enough to have them.  

Thank you for your response to Vision 2020 on this important community topic.
