Peggy and Larry answer a question from a listener who is in the editing phase of self-publishing her book with a well-known POD printer. This POD printer is charging 60% of the list price for books ordered by the author and is charging hosting fees for a POD provided website that is provided to the PRINTER for free! There was a lot wrong here and Jenny wanted to know if it was time to pull the plug.
Larry gives the website URL for Mark Levine and his on-going review of POD printers. Here is the link:
