POD for Dummies:
Demystifying the Business of Print on Demand

Presentations
Print on demand and short run digital printing have transformed the ways in which some publishers manage their businesses. For many others, however, the economics and business benefits of POD remain unclear. To help publishers decide if POD is right for them, BISG will publish, under license from John Wiley & Sons, Print on Demand For Dummies, an impartial guide to unraveling the complexities of this important technology.
This session provided a first look at Print on Demand For Dummies along with clear advice from publishers and service providers aimed at helping you decide if POD is right for your business.
