Resources

• Print on Demand: Ingram Micro - Lightning Source, Amazon, Createspace. The benefit is no inventory since they automatically supply book retailers. Also, they will drop-shop fixed quantities as needed.
• Book Printing - United Graphics Good for printing batches of 1000. Quality is better, but you now have to manage inventory.
