Design
Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
With today's print on demand technology, have you considered producing different books for different family members? This can be as simple as a story book for children, or as complicated as a fully personalized volume.
///////////////////////////////
Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
With the decline of the printed word, there is less demand - world wide - for paper. Because of this, less paper is being made. In fact, long-time manufacturers are getting out of the business. Paper prices are expected to rise sharply in 2018. This should be factored into any publication plan.
///////////////////////////////
Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Never assume anyone or anything (web “robot”, interest group, non-profit, etc.) will do anything for you – always ask. This includes asking people share your information, please post, and seeking out search engine (and other) submission opportunities for your web presence, etc.

When looking for a new or different printer, you may wish to weigh the difference between laser and inkjet. Genealogists and authors sometimes find inkjet limiting: May be water soluble, may come out of printer wet, etc.)
