Publish, Print, And Ship Your Book On Demand - POD
Print on demand publishing (POD) has come a long way. You can now publish a book (or even a CD or DVD) with no up-front cost and have it printed and shipped when a copy is sold, even one copy at a time. Amazing. Guess I'm going to have to write a couple of those books I've been talking about writing for a couple of years! There are a number of companies that do print on demand publishing, but Lulu is amazing because there is no up-front cost or set-up fees! Lulu is distinguished by the following: - They are free (except for a small royalty on each book when it is sold)
- There are no set-up fees
- There is no minimum order
- There is no risk, they print and ship each book when it is purchased
- You control the design, copyright and price
I haven't published a book with Lulu (yet!), but their process is certainly easy and the price is definitely right. There'a a Flash-based demonstration on their web site, and it is obvious how you really could publish and order within minutes. And I have to say that I'm impressed. You can also make your book available as a download in pdf-format if you wish. You can also do publishing on demand of CD's and DVD's. Printed copies normally ship within 3-5 days of an order, since they are printed on demand. Print a book, CD, or DVD on demand - POD - at Lulu...
