From the Inside Flap
A new technology has emerged within the last decade that offers both new and established authors a grand opportunity to present their work, in the manner they wish, to an open audience around the world.
Often confused with being a publisher, and frequently labeled as being a vanity process, this technology called "Print-on-demand" is a publishing process of printing a book one copy at a time as they are ordered or requested by the buyers.
But regardless of how it is recognized, it is here - and most likely will remain - for the business is booming and as more authors arrive ready to bring their works to the public, there seems to be no foreseeable end to the 'demand'. [end]

An ideal introduction,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ABC's of POD: A Beginner's Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing (Paperback)
POD stands for "publish on demand" and is an industry that sprang up with the advent of desktop publishing to provide a service for authors seeking to publish their own work, but who could not afford the costs involved with traditional publishing practices. There are now dozens of POD companies offering a variety of services to transform a manuscript into a published book, and a variety of charges for these services. The key distinguishing feature of POD publication is the ability to print one book at a time as ordered by the buyers. This eliminates traditional minimum print runs, book storage costs and associated inventory costs overhead. The ABC's Of POD: A Beginners Guide To Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing by POD expert Dehanna Bailee is an ideal introduction hallmarked with straightforward, easy-to-read chapters featuring "think spot" questions by section. There are more than forty additional exploratory inquires, a glossary, supplementary recommended reading selections, and invaluable lists of "Other tips and Ideas" and "Questions to ask present authors". If you are an aspiring author wanting to self-publish, then give a careful reading to Dehanna Bailee's The ABC's Of POD. Then visit Dehanna Bailee's online "POD Database" at http://dehanna.com.
