Infinity Publishing has been accepting returned books from bookstores since we implemented our liberal return policy almost 2 years ago. Mark Gregory, Vice President of Operations, said the number of books being returned under our unique return policy is considerably lower than what was projected and our total number of books sold to bookstores continues to increase.Thursday, 03 March 2005 20:00
Mainstream publishers acquire manuscripts they believe can be published and hyped into popular acceptance as a best-seller. They might release 100 titles a year and perhaps only 10 to 20 of their books will make a hit on the best-seller lists. The amount of the advertising budget allocated to launch a book is in direct proportion to the level of fame and the sales history of the author. Launch budgets for first-time authors are usually proportional to the advance paid to the author to buy all rights to their book. Most of their book marketing budget is spent to bring expensive media attention to their stable of proven authors with books that have a track record to support projected profits. Bean-counters love formulas for publishing books with the ability to produce a predictable return on their investment. The timing of when their titles are allowed to go out-of-print is determined by diminishing returns as profits—and also by increasing negative returns from booksellers.Read more: Authors Own the Copyright on their Published Books

Infinity’s unique Just-In-Time book publishing system makes it possible for our authors to do an updated revision or a second edition of their book at anytime. There’s no worry about what to do with cases of outdated books because there’s only an on-shelf micro-inventory that’s replenished as needed to promptly fill orders from, unlike a mainstream house that has to commit to a press-run of several thousand books... and then the publisher waits to see how well they sell before even considering doing a new edition.Read more: Re-Publish With Ease - Book Revisions, Second Editions and Copy Editing

Just like a foot-fault can foul you out of a game of tennis, typos and glaring goofs in your published book can foul the minds of your readers. The reader’s rewarding experience enjoying your thoughtful words is suddenly marred whenever there’s a place out of word—ah, a word out of place!!!Tuesday, 01 June 2004 20:00
Self-publishing is a costly, high risk undertaking that is labor intensive and often produces a small return for the author. There are many one-book publishers who took the time and trouble to setup a publishing house to produce and market their book only to discover that it’s not cost-effective to be a one-book publisher. The startup cost could easily exceed $30,000 to self-publish a book.

When I published Enjoy Often!!!, a collection of my work, in mid-March of 1999, I almost didn’t publish with Infinity Publishing because, at the time, the name was Buy Books On The Web.com. That sounded more like an online bookseller and not at all like a book publisher. However, when I was looking for a POD publisher, I called BBOTW.com because they were only about 20 minutes from my home.Page 10 of 13
