Some time ago I had my first art book printed with 22 of my prophetic pictures. Now I have published the slightly modified softcover version on amazon. I fixed some typos, changed the title and replaced an image. Unfortunately, the crease in the middle of the hardcover book was so ugly that you can't see the full beauty of the image, which stretches across a double page. That's why I swapped it with another one.



The softcover version of the book is part of amazon's KDP (Kindle Desktop Publishing) program. It is a variant of print on demand, where the book is only printed when someone orders a copy. The advantage is that you are not stuck with a print run that may be too large, which nobody then buys and you have to store the books somewhere.
Since Amazon probably has a number of printing companies under contract and these in turn receive a lot of printing orders from Amazon, this will be worthwhile for the printing companies. The books can be printed relatively cheaply, so that I can offer the book itself at a normal price. The disadvantage is that I earn relatively little from a book (luckily I get the books at the printing price) and that I have no influence on the print quality because I don't know where the book is printed.
But it is an inexpensive option for you if the softcover version is enough for you but you also want to order other things on Amazon. And ideally, if you say, I'm happy to give the book away because it's so cheap.
A English version of the book is already in the works! It will be available soon.
