Information for Publishers



We publish under the imprint CCB Publishing and offer a cost effective method to bring back a previously published title or prevent a current title from going out of print. Using state of the art print on demand technology alleviates the need to pay for a press run and reduces warehousing, inventory and other major expenses traditionally associated with publishing books. Books with subjects that have an ever lasting interest to readers can be kept "in print".

Once a book has been published in this manner reprinting is never required. Books will remain in print and available almost indefinitely. As a result revenues may grow year after year with no additional cost to keep the title in distribution.

CCB Publishing will assign an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for each book under our own imprint as distributing publisher in order to facilitate ordering from bookstores worldwide. Records of all sales are duly accounted for and a 50/50 split of all net proceeds are shared with contributing publishers.

By using leading edge print on demand technology the books will be attractive high quality editions and feature professional book design and typesetting. This method allows publishers to make high quality paperback and hardcover books available to the reading public quickly and economically. Previously published books may be re-released worldwide or new works can be test marketed at a low cost. It offers the best combination of low start-up costs, high quality and real earning potential.

There are no minimums or monthly charges to keep books in circulation after publication.

Having partnered with Ingram Books and Baker & Taylor, the largest distributors of books in North America, we can help you achieve your goals. In Europe we have also partnered with industry leading distributors Gardners Books and Bertram Books.


CCB Publishing is pleased to announce a new distribution channel for its authors’ books. Placed primarily in bookstores and libraries, the Espresso Book Machine® (the “EBM”), a Time Magazine “Best Invention of 2007,” is essentially an ATM for books. The EBM automatically prints, binds and trims on demand at point of sale perfect-bound library-quality paperback books with full-color covers that are indistinguishable from most books on a bookstore shelf. The EBM can manufacture a 300-page book in less than 4 minutes while the customer waits. Books with black and white interiors will be universally available, while books with color interiors will only be available from certain sites. In addition to Time Magazine, this revolutionary new technology has been featured by The New York Times, Newsweek, Fortune, CNN and NPR.

Other participating publishers of note include John Wiley & Sons, Hachette Book Group, McGraw-Hill, Simon & Schuster, Clements Publishing, Information Age Publishing, Macmillan, University of California Press and W.W. Norton.

In addition to being featured at the Book Fair in London, England and at BookExpo America in New York City, there have been many EBM installations to date with many more planned. In addition to the following locations, current plans include new installations in the United Kingdom through the Blackwell Ltd. chain of bookstores, in Australia through the Angus & Robertson chain and related bookstores, as well as in multiple locations at universities, bookstores and other retailers in the United States, Canada and elsewhere around the world.
