this is a very good deal…I took advantage of similiar one last year.
Requires a bit of publishing know-how to word with LSI, but they’re top quality + have very good customer service.
Yes, it’s an excellent deal. The only reason I find some authors prefer CreateSpace is because it’s a little more user-friendly to submit files and there is still the direct link with Amazon.
It’s a pity LSI wouldn’t consider this deal all the time – even if they were to push the qualifying print order to a minimum of 100 books. If you are going to self-publish properly you need to have book stock up front anyway for review and promotional purposes. You just can’t rely solely on a print to order demand system.
