I’m now a member of Lightning Source

Currently all my physical books are printed on-demand, this benefits the environment as it reduces shipping costs and distances, requires no inventory (books are professionally printed and bound when an order comes in) and technically allows me to keep a book “up-to-date” with endless almost realtime updates.

I’m now proud to say that all my physical books will be released shortly on the Lightning Source system as well as through Amazon.com’s CreateSpace as I am self published. This allows me to shortly offer my books in any volume and combination printed locally in the UK, France and Australia in addition to Japan, UAE, Egypt, Philippines, China, Netherlands, USA, Germany, Italy and a host of other countries. So instead of having to print and ship one book from the USA to Australia, it can now be printed directly within the USA and shipped faster and cheaper!

It has taken more than a month to get all the paperwork, accounts etc… sorted but it’s a fantastic opportunity for me to expand my distribution offerings, not only in printing but availability as now my books will be added to book sellers lists, online and off among a host of other opportunities including the Espresso Book Machine!
