Book Printers
Joel Turner, president of The Great American Press in League City, Texas, tells me that his digital printing company sells directly to self-publishing authors. He confirms that they are not a publisher and asks you to see his instant estimate Web page www.thegreatamericanpress.com for pricing info. They are competitive below 500 in quantity. “We do print up to 2,000 books for some of our authors,” says Joel, “but we always let them know that offset can offer a better price on those runs. Friesens is a great offset company, but I’m not sure how much work they do with self-published authors.”

In your newsletter you asked about a reliable, good printer. I used http://www.unitedgraphicsinc.com/ out of Illinois. The quality of the print, paper, and cover for a soft cover book I felt was exceptional. For 1,000 books it costs me about $4.80 per book in color. Quality was so important to me being someone who self-published. I'd rather pay a bit more for quality and have a little less profit, as I feel this reinforces what I am about too. Hope this helps your readers.
Joyfully,
