Case Study of Self-Publishing with Print-on-Demand
URL: http://www.fonerbooks.com/pod.htm
Description: There's great confusion in the writing world over the difference between POD technology and subsidy presses. Most large trade publishers and academic presses use print-on demand-for a portion of their list, and readers aren't even aware of it. The main print on demand printer in the country is Lightning Source, a sister company of Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. Lightning Source prints books for over 3,000 publishers, including most of the big trades and academics, not to mention almost all of the subsidy presses. The case study on this site breaks down the exact numbers from a self-published book printed and distributed by Lightning Source, including, month-by-month sales, distribution issues and profits.
