Print-on-Demand and CPI BooksDirect

Within BookBank, there is a unique product that gives you instant ability to deliver content via print-on-demand and generate more sales from your backlist and out-of-print titles: BooksDirect. It provides publishers with an integrated production and order-fulfilment service, which lets you sell any title from your entire catalogue for which there is a market demand - no matter how small - through retail channels or directly to customers searching the Internet.

And the best part? You do it all in a cost-effective, manageable and profitable manner. You simply pay a fixed manufacturing price per book (varying by pagination) regardless of run length - and a fixed price per book for fulfilment to retailer or Internet customer that includes warehousing & stock management costs.

CPI works with the publisher to establish an initial print order for all titles committed to the BooksDirect process based on evaluation of historical sales data. Then, a fixed manufacturing price per book is calculated according to the spread of volumes evaluated across the initial print order. Print-on-demand has never been so undemanding of your effort and investment and so significant in its upside.
