In my >opinion, we can expect more of this.

 

Or both publishers and authors of niche market books, like those in our

field, may consider " publishing on demand " . A friend just did this with

a West Coast company that does some distribution. When ordered, the book

which is on computer, is printed and bound. The book is never in print so

it doesn't go out of print, and inventory costs are close to nil. He

orders a small batch before seminars where he may sell it in person,

links the publisher's order form to his web site, sells it through

Amazon, B & N and some bookstores and uses his own mailing list developed

over years of giving seminars. Shipping is slightly delayed, but a good

quality 120 page trade paperback retails for $18. The author is

compensated as sales take place. Hiring a good editor would be extra.
