Hi Kelvin, Thank you for taking the time to comment. We will make your book available as a POD, printed and handled by Lightning Source, Inc., a division of Ingram (the world’s largest book wholesaler). After we complete our work, you can order any number of books that you desire. They will cost $0.90 per book plus $0.015 per page. A 200 page book would be $3.50 in any quantity. Due to the varying requirements for books by our authors, we keep the cost for our service down by not including a fixed number.
