Article on POD Publishing

This is a good article on print on demand publishing, how it works and the effect it is having on the publishing industry.

They also touch upon another effect of this technology, that is the impact upon the creative community. A lot of people have a tale to tell, but have little use for trying to publish their story by traditional means. Or many people have a story which might well be of interest to a limited audience, but our mass production economies of scale means that it has no hope of becoming a commercial success if were conventionally published. Print on demand publishing helps bring new writing to life that would otherwise be ignored or frozen out of the market place.
