Thanks for the truffles!
What about all translators out of the U.S. who can’t buy at Lulu, and have no need to give Amazon a cut and wait for the physical book?
Is there any PDF eBook purchasing (and downloading) option?
Ah, but translators outside the US *can* buy at Lulu — for one thing, you can select your “store” at the Lulu site, each store being in fact a country. But you can also order from a “store” in a different country (and given Lulu’s tendency to offer “special promotions” of one type or another for orders placed through that country, it can make sense to shop around).
In a general way, the Lulu print-on-demand system is based on agreements with partner printers in a large number of countries. I’m based in France, for example, and when I order books here they are printed by a printer in Paris or Nantes who receives pdfs of the cover & content, then simply prints, binds and ships.
If I want twenty books shipped to a group in, say, Portugal, I place my order on line, the pdfs are sent to a Portuguese printer, and a week later the books arrive at the address provided in Portugal. So there shouldn’t be a problem.
No plans right now for an ebook, although we may revisit that at some point. Do get back in touch if you have a problem ordering!
2020 and the ebook version is still missing…
Hi Irene. Apologies, just saw your comment. The ebook is available at lulu.com — has been for years. Have I misunderstood?
