The Impact of Print on-Demand on Academic Books takes an in-depth look at this phenomenon by reviewing the innovation of the last two decades, exploring the present state of academic publishing and works being printed on demand, and compiling the current forecasts and speculation about the future of academic and niche publishing. The convergence of online book selling, digital printing, digital document workflow management and the computerization of small parcel logistics has created a unique opportunity to create a viable commercial model for printing and supplying books on demand. The possibilities of this phenomena captured the imagination of creative academic and niche publishers enabling custom publishing, student editions of monographs, self-compiled wiki books, and even the establishment of new university presses and open access publishers.
