Business Description:We are a company that assists authors and institutions to self-publish their books. Since the current publishing industry is biased towards books that can sell only in large numbers, we provide authors an option to print and sell books in required quantities alone. We do this using the POD technology. Print-on-demand (POD) allows a complete book to be printed and bound in a matter of minutes thus making it possible to produce books one or two at a time and delay printing until after the book is ordered. We also offer authors all related services such as editing, translating, cover design, ISBN, printing and online sales, under one roof.
Material published by us include paperbacks, coffee-table books, manuals, corporate financial statements, cookery books and others that need to be printed in small quantities.
