I hadn't thought about combining POD with short print runs. That's a good option for an author who doesn't want to take on all the responsibilities of self-publishing but who also wants the benefits of a short print run rather than printing all the books with POD. You and I have the same goal - to help writers make the best, informed decision for themselves and their books. Thanks, Phil. I hadn’t thought about combining POD with short print runs.

I think you cover this topic very well. Many authors struggle with the question of how to best get printed copies of their books. We have authors who use PODs like LuLu and Author House who also print books with ZDocs. The reason they use both methods is the PODs can help them with the front-end work of getting their book designed and into distribution channels, but ZDocs can help them get larger quantities of their books printed for less money. I like Mark Levine's book that compares 48 POD printers and highly recommend authors read his book. Deciding how to print books is not an easy decision, but if authors will talk to PODs and printers like ZDocs, they'll begin to see the pros and cons of each method and then make the best decision for their book. But if an author is not aware of the different options, then he or she may fall victim to a good sales pitch. Even worse, an author might get mixed up with some of the shady companies like Publish America. You are helping authors go about this process with their eyes wide open and that is a very good thing.
