Print-on-Demand Printers
and POD Publishers
This page features a list of services which provide on-demand production (printing on demand) of books. Many of these companies can print, bind, and ship one book at a time, although most are more efficient and cost-effective at doing 10 to 100 copies. We try to be comprehensive in these listings, so we list anyone. A listing does not necessarily mean a recommendation by us. — John Kremer, author of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books

New Zealand publisher: “20% commission for on-line sales allows small operations to link to their sales screen for orders. But 40% to list on Amazon is greedy. Their international postage rate is absurd ($25 to NZ) and we have complained. They have no phone service, and their email replies are hopeless. Proofing delays (up to 24 hours) are annoying. We bought a block of book titles when they were offering the pro fee base for free. We use them for middle draft books, meaning books we send to our focus groups. A proof copy 200 page Royal B&W book cost $6.85 including shipping to a US Address whereas the same book would have cost a total of $28 to be sent to New Zealand. Of that $3.25 was for the book.”
