You are mixing the guides up I think. He published a SMAC guide (though I still have the original e-version somewhere) and collated material into threads for Civ3. I don't think these were published and sold.

Suffering from ads?

so you take all the money, leave the writer with pennies, and then someone goes and copies our writing into the message board and the writer gets USD 00.56 for his work. Good plan

Got spare money?

seriously though, if we were to do this, we would have a zero-apolyton-profit price simply to avoid any kind of pennie-talk

a 100-pages paper back with "perfect bound" binding would cost $10...

I always have other books for that. I only read strategy guides while actually playing the game, and that involves an active Internet connection in the background.

A nice example of WELL-DONE manual is Supreme Ruler 2010's manual. Just to give you an idea, this is the FIRST MANUAL EVER which I use. I did read a few manual just for fun, but there really is some strategy and general help in SR2010's manual.

For example, under a title called "artillery", you don't just find "Stuff to shoot bullets from afar" but also how it is used historically, what to do with it and some gheneral tip

If the Civ2 manual also recommended you to go for howitzers, then it revealed the whole strategy in the game!
