What kind of publishing company published this reference book? Or was it directly published by a publishing house?

It depended on the genre of the novel and the requirements of the publishing company. If the novel has already been adapted into a movie or TV series and the publishing firm has decided to publish it as a standalone book, it may be a better choice to go straight to the publishing firm. However, if the novel has not yet been adapted into a movie or television series, or if the publishing company has not decided to publish it as a standalone book, then it may be better to serialize it online. Online serializations made the novel more flexible because the author could adjust the content of the novel according to his own preferences and progress. In addition, serializing the novel online could also attract more readers because readers could read the novel anytime and anywhere through the Internet. Therefore, whether to serialize the novel online or directly find a publishing house to publish it would depend on the specific situation of the novel.

In any case, if one wanted to switch between different physical publishing houses, one had to submit a publication application to the publishing house and edit and layout according to their requirements.

Therefore, before submitting a publication application, it is recommended to understand the relevant policies and requirements from the publishing house.

每本书籍的定价提高1元可以发行的书的数量就会减少本。 假设最初有$x$本书每本定价为$y$元那么根据题意可以列出以下方程组: $$ \begin{cases} x = 40000 \\ y \cdot (1 + r) = 40000 \cdot (1 + r) + x \end{cases} $$ 其中$r$ 表示每本书的利润率。 将第一个方程式代入第二个方程式中得到: $$ \begin{aligned} y \cdot (1 + r) \cdot (1 + r) &= 40000 \cdot (1 + r) + x \\ y^2 + ry + r^2 &= 40000 + x \\ r &= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{y^2} \\ \end{aligned} $$ 解出 $r$ 的值即可得到每本书的定价 $y$ 的值。 当每本书的定价每提高1元时可以发行的书的数量为: $$ \begin{aligned} x' &= \frac{x - (40000 \cdot (1 + r) + x)}{1 + r} \\ &= \frac{x - 40000 \cdot (1 + r) + x}{1 + r} \\ &= \frac{x}{1 + r} \\ \end{aligned} $$ 因此每本书的定价提高1元时可以发行的书的数量为原来的 $\frac{1}{1 + r}$ 倍。
