LETTERPRESS BOOK PUBLISHING

Do-it-yourself publishing has become an affordable and, sometimes, relatively easy way to turn your manuscript into the book you have dreamed of publishing. But in this world of ho-hum, print-on-demand books, how can a writer make his or her book stand apart?... But while the publishing world has been transformed by print-on-demand, it has also been condemned to a new world of formula books that are cranked out by the hundreds of thousands in modern book factories that pride themselves on "instant" publishing. These books look alike because they are alike. They have to be if those printing factories are to survive. But in the race to the bottom, in the passion to cut costs, much of the charm and appeal of books published long ago has vanished... Whether it be poetry, short stories, novels or memoirs, self-publishing the letterpress way can be a cost-effective method to transform your manuscript from the ordinary into a keepsake-and do it within a budget.
