Print on demand is when your book is printed on a purchase by purchase basis, via your printer. For example, if someone bought one copy of your book, then only that copy would be printed and sent to the buyer. You would not hold stock of your book; copies would be sent directly from your printer.
Our approach
At Book Printing UK, our customers are forefront in the printing process. After all, this is a book which may have taken years to write. Therefore, bringing your vision to life through your involvement is incredibly important to us.
Taking this into account, we believe our customers greatly benefit from ordering their own set stock. This provides authors with ownership over their work; ownership which results in control over sale statistics, audience relations and delivery.
This process is perfect for those self-publishing. Authors can sell their in-hand books as and when purchases are made. When stock levels get low, re-orders are available via their personal account. Sending books directly from the author provides a more tailored and personal touch.

We offer a service called the Author Arena where we sell your books on Amazon. We will store and deliver your books from your chosen stock quantity, once purchased.
We also offer fulfilment. This is where we store and deliver books once purchased from the author's own selling platforms. For this we require a minimum of 100 printed copies. When stock levels get low, your account manager will inform you. You can have the option of ordering more copies.
