badbluesplayer Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I ordered an amp book by a guy by the name of Merlin Blencowe. It's a second edition of a book he published years ago that went out of print. And the book is published by a place called lulu.com. They publish books for people and print them on-demand. You order the book and then they print it. It's a hardcover book with a regular linen binding, like a real book. They print it in 3 to ten days. I just got it today. Pretty cool. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/merlin-blencowe/designing-power-supplies-for-valve-amplifiers-second-edition/hardcover/product-y495e4.html?page=1&pageSize=4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Yep... not too difficult of a process, compared to what I imagine it is dealing with a big corp publisher. Who you also want to sell it for you! My wife wrote, published one 4 or 5 years ago. Only had 3 dozen printed - maybe 150 pages. You are also you're own editor and proof reader, of course. Not designed to be in the Library of Congress ! Just family & friends in our case. Sometimes new technology does enhance our lives ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Yeah. I recently followed a thread of hilarity and frankly sadness regarding a book published on Lulu. I won't cite it specifically here due to Forum Rules. But the book was full of blatant plagiarizing, and the non plagiarized parts were obvious by the horrendous spelling and grammatical errors. It became so embarrassing I think Lulu took it off. Edited June 25, 2022 by saturn spelling eror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Was my post filled with errors or something? I'm not sure what else makes it so funny. If so, in my defense I'm just typing on a Forum, not publishing a book to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just laughing about the part where the author's so bad that the plagiarized stuff gave him away. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvirJiffy Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Sounds like a great opportunity! I prefer paper books but there are more useful online sources on the web, especially for education. That's why I live in a library.😀 But, unfortunately, I can't find all materials I need for some subjects there so I use some sites with additional info and books for it. But paper ones are a classic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
