While tools like Pressbooks make it easy to produce a print-quality PDF of the interior of a book (that can be printed and bound locally for distribution), you might be interested in having the book professionally printed and bound, with a proper cover, and even made available for purchase. You’ll encounter a range of options for printing—from consumer-oriented self-service operations like Lulu to book printers that work with publishers—and options for distribution, whether available only as print on demand through a printer’s website or available in the book supply chain for campus bookstores to order. This presentation provides an overview of the landscape and factors to consider in choosing among your options.
