 It is an acronym for Print On Demand.
 It is a publishing method of printing books in specific quantities
ordered by book store or book buyer.
 When customer order a book, which creates the demand for a
single copy.
 A single copy of that book is then printed on demand, perfect
bound with a full colour laminated cover, and delivered to the
customer or the bookstore ordering the POD book.
 It is a process for publishing books only as they are needed.

8.  A journal issue/book/proceeding/etc. is only printed upon request in
specific quantities rather than estimating the number of copies.
 This method reduce the chances of unappealing problems includes:
 the burden of paying for unsold items that wind up being stacked in an
overcrowded storeroom or
 printing too few items, running out, and being forced to tell a customer that
the content is not available for purchase.
 No need to gamble on how many issues will sell.
 You simply prepare a single file (usually PDF), submit it to the Print on
Demand publisher, and it is stored until an issue is ordered by a customer.
 It is only at this point that ink touches paper.

 Many Print on Demand publishers prefer PDF submission.
 If you are already publishing electronically, then you most likely
already have the file in an appropriate format.
 However, there are publishers that will accept Word documents
and convert them to PDF before printing. Some may also require you
to set up or have a Pay Pal or similar-type payment account.

10. I S I T N E C E S S A RY ?
 There are several factors taken into consideration for example,
 Who is the audience?
 How will they react if you move fully online?
 Some publications have moved from print to fully online rather
successfully. Others haven’t fared as well.
 Print on Demand might be a good way to transition from a culture
of print to a culture that prefers electronic access.
 It may also be a good option for those who are unsure of their
audience or still working with a mix of preferences.

 Print-on-demand allows printing in very small quantities.
 Earlier the cost of printing book meant you had to have a readership of at
least 2000-3000 before it made sense to publish a book.
 In fact that is the approach of traditional publishers.
 However, print-on-demand allows you to publish to much smaller markets.
 For example, one author is a college professor who has compiled his notes
into a textbook and every year, he prints a few copies – one for each student
in his class – with updated material.

14.  The book will always be available i.e. book will always be in print. There
will not be an “out of print” label for the book.
 The book gets printed only if someone orders it; we don’t need to spend a
large amount of money printing copies of the book.
 The author can put list of his books on websites all around the world.
When an order comes, simply direct it to print on demand publishers and
they will print and ship the book to the customer.
