Book Printer
Book publishers are quick to be found anywhere writers lurk; coffee houses, literary trades, the internet. Yet with the rise of the empowered individual and knowledge is power, more and more authors are registering their book for little costs, getting their ISBN’s, marketing themselves, sending out free copies to reviewers in the hopes that one of them says a good plug, and printing their own tomes and keeping all the profits (whatever tiny, tiny profits remain following all that jazz)

But book printers, like, the home variety are an even more popular mechanization, since the discovery that you don’t have to be printed in hard back to be a viable literary figure. No, somehow these artists are holding out even longer, waiting more and more for the respect and to the victor go the spoils. These artists are often having the last laugh as they haven’t been drilled into submission by some faceless publisher and they’ve retained all literary rights to their now wildly popular books. All this seemed to start with the advent of the book printer.

Book printers go back as old as time. Johannes Gutenberg is credited with the first European book printer in 1447; it’s now been shown that book printing actually went back hundreds of years earlier to the Chinese in the 11th century. Which is why it’s surprising that so many authors still have no interest in self publishing; they’d rather die on that unpublished manuscript than get a few hundred dollars together and try to distribute it themselves.

Today they even have another option; if book printing/printers make them nervous, then they can most definitely take their book to their living room printer and put it to task at their book printer.

Depending on the quality of the printer, they can maybe do the whole thing themselves and send it right to the independent book shops. They still should register their book to get an ISBN number and try and get it reviewed, but writers tend to know other writers in other mediums so I’m sure your newspaper columnist wouldn’t mind suggestively dropping off your book to the Arts & Leisure reviewer.

Printing your own book can be a windfall; it can mean artistic, commercial, and personal success and fulfillment. So if you’re looking to get the task done, do it today! You can even get a cheap book printer just to try it out; I’m sure if you go back into the same place, whether it is a store, retailer, or online facility; they’ll give you a discount on your step up book printer; just so long as you don’t forget the little people once you’re famous.
