What does “print-on-real-demand” mean?

“Print on real demand” means printing on real demand: we print exactly as many copies as readers request. We collect the orders and have the books printed in smaller quantities. The plan is to print 25-50 copies, but if demand increases, we can of course print larger quantities using the normal printing process.

Why is “Print-on-Real-Demand” necessary?

We are introducing the “Print-on-Real-Demand” process for those publications which – despite the various forms of support we receive – are not economically viable for a normal printing process with a much higher print run. We therefore use this relatively new and yet mature technical process for such publications. This also gives us the opportunity to produce in a way that is based on concretely determined needs.
In this way, we can keep all the titles that Perseus has published to date accessible. This decision was born out of a sense of increased responsibility.
