[Buddha-l] Fair Use behind Closed Classroom Doors

[Christopher Fynn]

If one is prepared to do the editing, layout and proof-reading - and 
then to produce final PDF files, then the cost of becoming a publisher 
using one of the numerous print-on-demand services is minimal. They will 
handle all the orders from Amazon and other distributors - print and 
ship copies as ordered ~ you receive the selling price minus their cost.

In fact most academic presses now use print on demand services 
themselves  - that is why many books published in recent years never go 
out of print.

The prices these publishers sell books for bears no relation to what the 
print on demand services charge them - their printing, binding  and 
shipping costs per book are in fact pretty low.
