Lace Book Authors: One thing I learned in the past few days (didn't write down the source) is that it is less expensive to have a British book published in the U.S. than it is to ship from overseas.
Hi Brenda I have looked into this idea. The only print-on-demand printing company I could find that prints in UK, USA and Australia is too poor a quality (pulp fiction) for my diagrams and photos. They also require you to have separate accounts for each country, pay the set-up cost for each country and pay you in the local currency, with all the conversion and tax implications that brings. I was not going there. However, they will send out individual books at a cost of £1.20 per book on top of the postage (that was 3 years ago). I quote cost of book plus postage and require to be paid in sterling (PGB) by cheque or PayPal. I do not use a commercial PayPal account. Apart from the first flurry, about 6 months when a book comes out, my PayPal receipts drop down and it costs about 7% to use a domestic account. Ignore any threats they make, they are only trying to make you use the more expensive account, just keep less than £1,900 in the account. I will be happy to answer any questions you have on the subject to the best of my ability.
