Hello,

Great Print On-Demand info! I had my first book published in 1997 that is no longer in print. Can I offer 2nd edition with appropriate updates to information through a print on-demand company?

James

Hi James, 

Absolutely! As long as the rights reverted to you when it went out of print, you can go ahead and make it available via one of the POD companies. It's a great option for an educator like you, since you can have students order directly from the POD company or an online bookstore, and only as many copies as are needed are printed.

If you have the original manuscript on your computer that will make it easier (no re-typing!). Just make your edits and submit.

There is a section in my e-book about the issues to consider when reissuing a book (copyrights, copyrighted art and design work, scanning, OCR, book size etc.) that you may find helpful.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Julie
