One at a time. 

 

That sounds crazy, doesn't it! But it's true. As one book is ordered - say by someone on Amazon - the order is placed in seconds, it works out the nearest print operation, the book is printed and then shipped. It takes just a few seconds to print a paperback or hardback book. And your custmer receives their book in the post a couple of days later, just like any book. 

 

This is called Print On Demand technology. And everyone's using it. 

 

What are the advantages?

 

1. No stock - which is expensive and burdensome (see above)

2. 1 book ordered, 10 books ordered, 1000 books ordered - no problem - all printed and shipped

3. No upfront cost to you

4. Showing as stocked on Amazon, B&N, WHSmiths, Waterstones as normal

5. Never go out of stock

6. Incredible international distribution - you don't have to life a finger
