Digital printing has enabled authors and publishers to produce books in small quantities, either for testing and marketing, to publish themselves or to make books available that do not warrant a large print run any more. With modern technology no book should be “out or print”.

Pegasus is all about production of books in short runs on demand. Unlike many other printers, who print the occasional book, we produce tens of thousands of paperbacks (as well as magazines) every month, for big, small and one-off publishers.

If you want to publish your own book and get it printed, here are some things to consider:
