Sometimes the best method for an author who wants to get a book in print is self publishing. The main difference between self publishing and traditional publishing is simply a financial one: in self publishing, the author pays for the cost of the printing. Those who are interested in self publishing a book should first consider exactly what the self publishing costs will be, and then decide if that investment is worth whatever return is realistic. Generally speaking, it is fair to say that the cost per book decreases as the number of copies printed increases. This makes sense, when one considers the fact that there is a high cost to the set up of the offset printing process.
