Note: deadline pressure means the update page is the one thing I haven't had a chance to update in a while! I promise to get to it soon. RMA

Important Note: While we feel it important to print this book ourselves, so as to demonstrate the techniques discussed in the book, the realities of book shipping and distribution can make this impractical. Therefore, those copies of A Quick Guide to Book-On-Demand Printing ordered from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, other on-line bookstores, and brick-and-mortar stores, are printed by Lightning Source, a leading provider of large-scale book-on-demand printing. Previously, all copies sold direct from FoxAcre have been printed and bound by the author. However, The author will likely be unable to print copies at home for some time, as he is moving house. That leaves it between a choice of not selling the book ourselves, or else letting someone else print it. Therefore, we will be selling primarily LSI-made copies in the near future, and for some time to come. LSI-printed copies have the LSI lightning-bolt logo on the back. FoxAcre-printed copies have a white star in a blue circle on the spine. Visit the Update page listed below for more information.
