Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
PDF is an easy way to make a compilation
publication. Do you or your group have several research titles of a given theme
or area? Whether they are all still currently in print in traditional book form
or not, consider publishing a research collection on disk. This is a great
alternative when an author doesn't wish to keep a valuable title in print.
While some choose POD as an option, others may consider electronic publishing.
Offering this format, even if your books are hard or soft bound and in print,
can appeal to many
who
are interested in bargain shopping. Even if you offer the electronic edition at
only a $5.00 savings. Those who choose to buy a $40 CD that you have $15
invested in electronic publishing increases your profit over $45 book
that you have $35 invested in the printed book. For a book that required
research, many already know that it is rare to actually recoup 100% of all
research costs. However "profit" can be used for more research, funding
collectors editions, or mad money!
