50-200 is too big for a departmental licence I would suggest, you need to
have a flexible policy, starting with maybe 5 copies, increasing the
discount/copy with larger numbers of copies, and for the purchaser to be
able to add on to this at a later date.  I bought 29 (I think copies) of EN
from the US a few years ago at a good price, but now I get people in dribs
and drabs wanting copies so I need a deal for them, and for postgrads and
students.  I know Niles is a small company but the UK HE market is probably
particuarly price sensitive so publishers aiming at that market need to
price with that in mind.  And volume sales could result.  As it is inferior
but cheaper products probably win out.
