Here are seven reasons why you should print and bind your own books.
You decide what you want published.
The only thing that spoils self publishing is the cost and the risk of printing and binding charges and minimum runs.
With self printing and binding you can test and adapt at trifling cost.
- It is easyand simple- you can print at home with your own printer or have a copy shop do your printing.
- Binding a book is easy, you need only a simple jig and some light card and glue.
Making the jig is easy if you can do a little woodwork or maybe use a friend to do it for you.
You don't need to be a craftsman joiner! You can bind a book in two minutes once you are set up.
Imagine, you produce 20 - 30 books in an hour and make a profit of at least $5 per book and maybe much more. - You have complete control of the whole process - You design and make the cover, you can do short print runs if you like and you can do 'print-on-demand'.
- It is very inexpensive.
Binding a book costs less than a dollar and the printing is much the same, depending on the quality of the paper, and, of course, the size of the book. - You get a feeling of freedom and accomplishment.
- You can market your book anywhere -Ebay (you don't need to be concerned about the ban on digital product downloads), Amazon, book shops, friends,clubs, markets, wherever.
- All the software you need to write the book and design the cover can be obtained free.
There is nothing to stop you from becoming a published author overnight and there is nothing more impressive than being able to pass round your own printed book and see the admiring or envious looks on everybody around you.
