That would be why I said "However, it would probably be best if the folks at PRAGMA ADE were to handle this to avoid some of the copyright issues, and they might as well be the ones receiving any profits from the sales." ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Printing ConTeXt books on Lulu? (Was: A new manual)
I figured I would try adjusting the subject to make the query a little more apparent. Would it be possible to purchase some of the books on ConTeXt via Lulu? Geoffrey Alan Washburn wrote: > John R.

Re: [NTG-context] Printing ConTeXt books on Lulu? (Was: A new manual)
Not unless the copyright holders submit the material to Lulu. In short, Lulu.com is a print-on-demand publisher with no costs involved for the author: He or she uploads a 'book', specifies bindings and his/her royalties, and if someone purchases the book, it is printed and send to the person. A percentage o the royalties goes to Lulu. In particular, one can choose to publish a book w/o royalties, then it will only cost the printing expenses. Downloads just cost the royalties, if permitted. Finally, the author can choose among a range of copyright options. Matthias PS: On my personal wishlist, the #1 item is an updated version of con- eni. I'd prefer a downloadable PDF, but I'd also buy a printed version.
