Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Usefula and well written
I thought this was an excellent book. It was clear, informative and actually a pleasure to read: the author has a direct style which I found engaging. If POD is really as straightforward as he makes it sound then the publishing world is going to be shaken to its foundations.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is (as other reviewers have commented) somewhat US-centric. Just for example, the ISBN authority in the UK is Nielsen.




Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Limited use outside USA
I bought this book having read the recommendation of other reviewers but failed to note that most were based in the USA or outside UK. The book contains much that is useful general background about POD systems and many of the business tips are applicable in a general sense. However, it is written specifically for an American audience using the US publishing system. All of the links and references are for US users. That said, this is a clearly written, snappy guide to the ins and outs of POD.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Book on POD Publishing
Before I read this book, I had already published three books. When I saw that Steve Weber recommended it, I had to see why.

The author first starts out with the basics of publishing. He explains how trade publishing ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Indispensable
This book is an indispensable guide to the subject of Print on Demand (POD).

As someone who is now into POD, but never knew anything about traditional publishing, I particularly enjoyed his explanations of how traditional publishing works, and he provides a compelling, well-presented case for the cost-effectiveness of the POD route in comparison.

You can also try "Aiming at Amazon" by Aaron Shephard. I don't know either of these authors, but every time I read these two books I ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Print on Demand comes of age
In these days of saving the environment, we must all do our bit. I have done mine by saving several trees' worth of stamps thanks to Morris Rosenthal's 'Print on Demand Book Publishing'.

Print on Demand (POD); only print a book if someone demands it.
POD means no more posting hundreds of copies of your manuscript to hard-boiled agents, no more giving your long-suffering postie a sore back and laying waste to acres of forest only for the jaded publishers to drop it into their wastepaper ... Read More
