Hi all
I have an idea for a local history book project that am in the process of getting funding for a small initial print run. I've looked about online at self-publishing options and found www.printondemand-worldwide.com to be pretty competitive for a small print run with a colour insert. Wondered did anyone have any experience with them?
Also I want this available for sale so will be getting them to generate an ISBN number. Depending how popular the book is, I'll look to do a second edition with a 'true' print on demand with the likes of Amazon and sell it electronically. Would that need a separate ISBN number? Would selling via Amazon whether by createspace etc, come with any restrictions like not being able to do subsequent editions elsewhere? I want to retain the ability to do small print batches at different points, I'm thinking this probably means a separate ISBN for each batch if I want to sell via Amazon etc myself. Maybe at that point it would be easier just to order a few myself from the Amazon print on demand service.
Any advice on limitations when self-publishing and multiple editions is greatly appreciated.
