Publishing your thesis/collection/Book
If your work is in the sort of areas that we are interested in,
then we may be able to publish it in hard print.
- Niche subjects, specialist areas, eg theses.
- Also workshop proceedings, collections of works.
- Also we can republish classic out-of-print books, subject to the
necessary copyright permissions.
- New Print-on-Demand technology means the minimum size print run
is just one copy!
- We fully expect the work may well be also freely available online
in electronic form.
- This is for people who also want a hard-copy on their shelf.
- Professionally bound, and cheaper than using your desk printer.
- Anyone worldwide can purchase online a copy, to arrive by post.
- Typical price of a 200+ page thesis (B&W), US$10.00-12.50
plus shipping.
- That would be around £5.50-7.00, or €8.00-10.00 plus
shipping
We expect that many such works will sell very few copies - just so long
as it is at least one! Sales would have to rise into 3 figures before
we could start discussing any possible royalties. We ask for the
non-exclusive right to publish the work -- i.e. you can publish
elsewhere, including offering free downloads which we can facilitate
ourselves. You can withdraw our right to publish by giving 3 months
notice.
We would need from you the source file, in postscript or pdf,
using standard common fonts. All the fonts have to be embedded in a pdf
file before it goes to the printer, so if you have used strange fonts
you will have to embed them yourselves. Please note that low production
costs need Black and White copy; colour printing is possible, but
will raise the final price very significantly (e.g. $38 instead of $10).
