Key Points

Print subsidies can support open access (OA) models without compromising digital access.
Consumers are willing to pay for print copies, as evidenced by $40 issues sold at Open Book Publishers.
The discussion highlights the potential for print to complement digital formats in academic publishing.
Challenges in reconciling print and digital formats present opportunities for innovative publishing solutions.

Implication

Conceptual dilemma around print subsidies for OA, suggesting coexistence of print and digital formats.

Abstract

An interesting conceptual dilemma arose today. At [OLH](https://www.openlibhums.org) we don't believe that print is incompatible with OA/the digital. (This is usually the part of the Skype call where I hold up my print copy of [Literature Against Criticism](https://books.eve.gd/litagainstcrit) from Open Book Publishers.) Some of our titles sell print copies at, say, the $40 mark for an issue.
