NIKTAL PUBLISHING

For book building by artisans for collectors and patrons, see private press.

The $1 billion market of self-publishing has transformed in the past two decades with new technologies providing increasing alternatives to traditional publishing.[1] Self-publishing is increasingly becoming the first choice for writers.[2] Most self-published books sell very few copies.[3] Those which sell large numbers are newsworthy because they are so rare. The quality of self-published works varies considerably, because there are no barriers to publication and no quality control.[4]
