Arbor Books, Inc. - SEVEN WARNINGS ABOUT PRINT ON DEMAND

(New York, NY)—Problems are alpha to apparent with the publishing abnormality accepted as Print on Demand (POD), according to Arbor Books (www.arborbooks.com), one of the arch ghostwriting and self-publishing companies in the world

What is POD? This press addition allows the assembly of individual copies of books to be printed, instead of hundreds or even bags at a time.

In the beginning, POD was bound to boilerplate publishers as a agency for them to discharge out bargain copies of an accessible book for reviewers and media people. In this case, the POD book—known in the barter as a “bound galley”—is apparent with the byword “review copy,” “not for sale” or “uncorrected proof.”

POD was never advised as a press action for a commercial, store-quality book.

In adjustment to advice barter acknowledgment the catechism “What are the problems with POD?” Arbor Books has created a account alleged “Seven Things Your POD Subsidy Publisher Won’t Tell You.”:

1) POD has the aforementioned stigma as a vanity press. Unlike high-quality self-publishing, POD has a belled acceptability for poor production, design, and above of writing. Everybody knows who the capital POD publishing factories are and for about all these authors, accepting that publishers name on their book is a kiss of death.

2) Nobody reviews self-published POD branch books. The barter press, such as Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and Booklist, won’t about analysis POD branch books. (They will analysis self-published books.)

3) Bookstores don’t backpack POD books for abundant reasons: it book won’t accept a review, there is a top amount point and POD publishing factories do not acquiesce returns. Most bookstores are not absorbed in stocking POD.

4) Because of the low prices answerable by POD publishing factories, there is a tradeoff: money, affliction or time cannot be allocated to the architecture of a book. Everything is cookie-cutter, boiler plate—and the books attending it. Almost anybody in the publishing industry can atom a POD subsidy book a mile away—and will run in the adverse direction.

5) Since the POD Company owns the ISBN, they ascendancy the book. Clients accept NO acceptance to their typeset material, etc.

6) Individual book assembly costs are through the roof. The per-unit amount will consistently be far college than what the bazaar will bear.

7) Marketing is non-existent with POD. They are printers—not marketers. They specialize in low-end clients, accepting them in and out, and there is no chump account or abutment (though the irony is that abounding POD projects crop a year or added to finish!).

Arbor Books and added book packaging and business firms focus their absorption on creating a retail-quality product. The success of the book and columnist are paramount.
