BookBaby: a manual for success in book printing on demand

BookBaby, a service for self-publishers, is not just the source for the price of a print-on-demand book (20 Euro), but it also offers a ´manual´ for self-publishing. Everything a future bestseller writer needs to know, and, even more importantly, how to make money, can be found on the Bookbaby site. From the low start up cost, 200 Euro for a title, to the cover design, to press releases and promotional copies.

What is remarkable is that BookBaby thinks that a writer should be satisfied with 11% royalties when distributing their book via Amazon and similar distribution channels.
Is that the price of fame?
