How to Self Publish a Book with Print on Demand?

Print on demand… what exactly is that? When you publish a book the classic way, you have it produced in a certain number of copies and then gradually sell your copies. With the PoD method, it’s the other way round. You first sell your book and then have it produced. So you don’t have to pay in advance or have books in stock. Especially for self-publishers, “web to print” is a great way to get into the print book business. Because you can order your book both in the stationary book trade and online at Amazon, Thalia, Hugendubel, etc..
