BBC: Online publisher’s European move

Anonymous Patron writes BBC News looks at Lulu.com, who has just announced plans for five new European sites as part of its global expansion.
Lulu allows readers to download single copies of books stored on its site without needing huge print runs, and thus helps would-be authors into print.

The five new sites, to be phased in, will be in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Holland.

What eBay did for auctions – “enabling the hidden 90% of would-be sellers” – the 51-year-old from Hamilton, Ontario, hopes to do for publishing and would-be authors.”
