What is it about a person's book collection? Whenever I enter someone's house for the first time, the book collection always draws me in. Books tell you many things about their own. The lack of any books may tell you many things as well.
The act of publishing a book seems one of a higher calling than many other things, so I am proud to be part of advancing the intellectual content of the human race. A bit over-the-top, I admit, but if book burning is considered a horrible act, then wouldn’t book publishing, therefore, be considered an act of high achievement?
Anyway, I got into book publishing out of book preparation, using QuarkXPress to prepare the press-ready PDF file for the printer. When it came time to issue a revision, it made more sense in many ways to not only prepare the book, but also publish. My authors have lower costs and wider distribution.
What I offer the author is a close production relationship where the design and production phase of the book can be monitored. This provides for less mistakes and a more responsive creative team to the ideas of the author. Additionally, the cost of production may in may instances be less than that incurred using other publishing services.

Publishing for the writer who demands control over design as well as content.
