Collaboration for printing of out-of-print and out-of-copyright books
by Leonard Fernandes 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hello, I represent CinnamonTeal Print and Publishing Services, a print-on-demand (POD) service provider based in Goa. As you probably know, print-on-demand is a technology that allows one to print books in runs of one and ultra-small quantities such as 10, 15 or 20. The technology has a lot of potential in a country like India since books catering to very small audiences can be printed and circulated. To this end, we would like to collaborate with various libraries to identify and print books that are out of print and those whose copyrights have expired. This will ensure that books are still accessible while taking care to see that the integrity of the copyright is not compromised. We hope that you will be willing to collaborate with us and help us in our endeavour. The language of the book does not matter as we can print books in any language. After covering the costs of production, any profits that might be realised will be given to the concerned library so that the money can be used for preservation and other activities. If the proposal seems interesting to you, allow me to call you at a time of your convenience so that we can get things started. I hope you will find it worth your while to reply to this email and carry this conversation further. Meanwhile, our website can be accessed at http://www.cinnamonteal.in Sincerely, Leonard Fernandes CinnamonTeal Print & Publishing Services, Plot No. 16, Housing Board Colony, Margao GOA 403601 Cell: +91-98503 98530 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
