Q. Explain this ‘no waste’ concept.

A. Our printing technology allows you to acquire high quality books in small quantities at very affordable prices. Therefore, we urge you to buy only the quantity of books that you think you can sell or distribute in the short term. By asking just a few questions and providing different pricing options for the author, we usually end up printing a smaller quantity than the author initially targeted. Yes, it does result in a smaller sale, but we end up with a much happier customer. And that’s to everyone’s advantage: especially yours. Because you’re not wasting money on unsold books.

Q. What’s the minimum amount of books I can print?

A. For a hardcase and paperback books, it’s 25. For other types of binding, it can be fewer.

Q. What’s the maximum number of books that No Waste Publishing® can print?

A. For all practical purposes, we are very cost effective in quantities up to a few thousand. In the unlikely event you need 5000 or more books, an “offset” printer, or a “web” printer would better serve you.

Q. How much do reorders cost?

A. It depends on the quantity of the rerun, but if the run quantity is similar to the original run quantity then the costs will be almost identical. If you need fewer books on the rerun, the cost per book may be slightly higher. If you need more books than the original run, the cost per book will be slightly lower. We can define these rerun costs at the time of your initial order at your request. Bottom line, we make reruns affordable because that is part of the unique value that we bring to you.

Q. Why shouldn’t I print at the local copy shop or Kinko’s?

A. First, your books won’t look as good. They don’t have an iGen3 printing press, which is the new quality standard in digital book production. Very few printers have this technology. Also, it’s almost certain you won’t get the same level of professional support that you would with a publisher who has expertise in book production. You need to consider also that your bindery options will probably be much more limited. Plus, you’ll probably be “upsold” to purchase a higher number of books than you really require. Additionally, you’re likely to get a strange look if you ask about discounted pricing on reruns from your archived files. Lastly, after we quote a job, we often get comments from authors such as “oh my, that’s a very good price”. Price considerations aside, you can be assured of receiving outstanding value for your publishing dollar at No Waste Publishing®.
