Q: What is Print on Demand?
A: A Print on Demand paperback looks and feels like any other paperback. The only difference is that it is only printed when you say you want it so it really is 'hot off the press'.

Q: Why do you use Print on Demand?
A: Random House (that's us) wants to keep as many of our books in print as possible – ensuring that the work of all of our writers is available to as wide an audience as possible. However, with the best will in the world, it is not possible to keep all of our books always in print and stored in our warehouses. This is why we have introduced Print on Demand.

Q: How long does a Print on Demand book take to be printed and delivered?
A: On average about 10-15 working days.
