Our article -- on POD (Print on Demand) Technology

Here is an excerpt from our article on publishing books using print on demand (POD) technology.

Some authors may decide to use a publisher when they write their books. The publisher's expertise and knowledge is often well worth the nominal cost to use an industry professional. A knowledgeable publisher can often save an author time and trouble. In some cases, the cost of the publisher is just a little more than purchasing your own ISBN!

Publishers will typically work with their authors to customize services. Some authors merely need an ISBN and some help with formatting issues. Others will want editorial assistance. A good publisher should serve the needs of their authors.

An additional benefit that should not be underestimated is that using a third-party publisher gives your book added prestige. This may be particularly important if the book is a credibility-builder for your business.

New Author: Maximum Backgammon (in Minimum Time)

We are pleased to release a book by new author, Carl James, who wrote an educational and niche book on "Maximum Backgammon," available at Amazon and BCDadvisor's e-store.

We are happy to add this to our growing list of "Teach to Fish" titles which have an educational theme. Here is an excerpt from the Amazon description:


Product Description

This book contains good tenets of the great game of backgammon. How does a winning backgammon player think as each individual game develops? Opening rolls are described, with strategy lessons in mind. Basics of probability and estimation, as they apply to backgammon, are reviewed. The power of the doubling cube - as a weapon - is discussed. The goal is not to merely list a few backgammon tips, but to teach a way of thinking about the game so that readers develop a sense of vision for how backgammon games evolve. We want you to strive for constant improvement in your game. And we want to maximize your backgammon improvement while minimizing your studying and reading time. This book is designed for the serious beginner to the advanced backgammon player.
