Don't forget this part (on the second page here:

M Carmichael said that the $8 donation was not a requirement. Indeed, a
sign sometimes displayed on the table near the books says "suggested
donation: $8."
But when a reporter presenting himself as a stressed-out New Yorker took
the test and suggested a donation of considerably less than $8 for the
book, the tester, a young man in a striped tie, balked.
"It's a fixed donation," the man said. "The money is just to recover the
cost of producing the books."
A saleswoman at a major paperback-book printer in the Midwest, who asked
that her firm not be identified, provided an estimate for a book with
similar specifications to "Dianetics," which has 700 pages, a
black-and-white photo insert and a four-color cover. The price: $1.58 per
copy for 50,000 copies, not including. distribution and delivery. The
church says it has published more than 20 million copies of the book."
