"Book-Like Objects"

There was a very interesting story on Morning Edition yesterday about self and print on demand publishing. This is definitely a growing area of the book industry, especially for fiction. We had several authors at your Writer's Festival here earlier this year who started in POD and later signed contracts with major publishing houses. There are some funny snide comments from a publishing house rep in there too.

Then there’s also that really groovy POD subset, facsimile reprints. A great way to affordably get your hands on some obscure, long-out-of-print text, but rather confusing to catalog. Don’t let this discourage anyone from ordering them though. I love a challenge! :)

That's not what you say when I order them! :)

Well, that's less about liking to cataloging them, and more about liking to make you kvetch. ;)
