low price printing  

We’d like to help you publish your book at a very low cost, in the hope that you’ll be able to sell many copies. We want to be a partner in your success and make money with you, not from you.   Self publishing through on demand printing has its disadvantages. The advantage of POD publishing is that your initial investment is relatively low. Its disadvantage is that the cost per book is higher than if you print thousands of books with offset printing.  The problem is aggravated when self publishing companies charge so much that it becomes hard for authors to sell their books competively. Why would anyone pay $29 dollars for a book when similar books are sold at $17 dollars?

We are not saying it is unethical to charge too much. After all no one forces you to buy overpriced services. However, we think it is not fair that authors should earn less thanself publishing companies.

Traditional publishers earn a lot more than the authors. But that is because they invest on the books and not all books are profitable. So there is a risk involved in publishing a book. What are the risks of self publishing companies? They make you pay for everything. So, why should they make more money than you? Authors spend months or years writing a book and they also pay for its production. Isn’t it fair that they should make most of the profit? We think so.

Qualitatively, all print on demand books are the same. There is no workmanship involved in manufacturing POD books. It’s all technology. All POD books are printed with the same machine. Putting the concerns about quality out of your mind, you can now focus on price.
