November 26, 2004 - The question has run the gamut of forums, message boards, and chat rooms. It is always the same: what is print-on-demand publishing, and more importantly, which company should I use?

With her latest release, "The ABC's of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing," author Dehanna Bailee attempts to provide writers with the information they need in order to answer that very question for themselves. With easy to read articles, special questions by section, over forty exploratory inquiries, and recommended reading selections, this book can aid those who are trying to make a solid start.

Fern Reiss, an expert in publishing and the author of over ten bestselling books, including The Publishing Game series was quoted as saying, "Thousands of authors are leaping blindly into the world of POD. They should all run out and buy 'The ABCs of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing' right now. Her clear discussion of POD's hidden costs alone makes this book worth every penny."

Marilyn Meredith, author of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series and a featured speaker at several writers' conferences, commented, "This is the book that anyone who is considering self-publishing or being published by a POD publisher should read first. Knowing what to look for could save an author money and heartaches and 'The ABC's of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing' will do just that. Great book!"

Tami Brady, a reviewer for Blether.com, noted that: "'The ABC's of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing' is a very well researched text. The topics are well thought out and are presented in a logical fashion. Moreover, the author has done an exemplary job of presenting a balanced text that includes both the benefits and drawbacks of print on demand publication versus traditional publication."

And in her review, Lea Schizas, Editor-in-Chief of Apolloslyre.com, "found that 'The ABC's of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing' was an educational lesson, exploring various sides of POD publishing and I would highly recommend this book to any writer in that final stage of deciding which way to go: trad, or POD."

Dehanna's first non-fiction book about publishing "A Basic Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing Services" and her online "POD Database" have received praise and support from the writing community, including recommendations from such notable sources such as Dan Poynter and Writer's Digest.

"The ABC's of POD: A Beginners Guide to Fee-Based Print-on-Demand Publishing" will be available in both print and e-book format for order through most local and online bookselling venues and can also be purchased direct from the publisher, Blue Leaf Publications.
