My first run of 100 spiral bound books we did at a local printers for friends and family pre orders didn't have and ISBN number. Our second run of 525 perfect bound did and we sold our next round of "You Can't Get It 'Cause You've Already Got It!" at local books stores, Amazon etc. We invested money from the first sales $1500 for 10 ISBN numbers and established ourselves as a publisher and much cheaper higher quality printing. Our publishing company Thriving Artist Press went on to publish books for national charities and much more. Dream big and it's worth the small upfront investment. Just start out strong with the preorders so you have working capital to cover expenses and the growth of your business.<br /><br />-Ruth Anne Wood<br />http://ScriptingForSuccess.com/big-mission/RUTH ANNE WOOD (RAW)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05540207998450149726noreply@blogger.com
