Sorry, but what is a print-on-demand book?

0

“Print-on-demand” is a technology for printing books one at a time. A customer orders one book online (through Amazon.com or some similar outlet) and the (single) book is printed and sent to the customer. This contrasts with the historical method, which involves printing thousands of books at one time using a conventional printing press and then storing these in warehouses until the day of need. The “storing in warehouses” business can get pretty expensive. Q. Tell me more about print-on-demand. A: Sorry, it’s not my field. This is still in the “let’s think about it” stage and I’m not in any big hurry.

It can give an idea to the author about how is the response to the book in the market, how well it is doing on the financial side. But it can cost more than traditional printing and publishing as mass printing is always beneficial than printing only a few copies at a time.
