What is a Print-on-Demand Book

ANU E Press PoD books are perfect-bound paperbacks with glossy covers that are produced from a single source file (XML). PoD books can be printed one at a time or in small print runs using a digital printing system. When a customer orders a PoD book, the order is sent from ANU E Press to our Digital Printers. The printers then produce the PoD book and send it to the customer within 14 working days (in Australia) or 21 working days (overseas). The finished product is equivalent in quality to an offset print book.

Ordering a title co-published with another publisher

ANU E Press also publishes titles with other publishers within the ANU. The method of ordering a title that E Press has co-published varies depending on the agreement E Press has with that particular co-publisher. E Press handles all print-on-demand orders unless otherwise specified on the title citation page, for example, ‘Order Print-on-Demand Copy via Asia Pacific Press’ or ‘Order Print-on-Demand Copy via the RSPAS Bookshop’.
