Bookstore Returns ProgramDid you know that bookstores are allowed to return unsold books back to most publishers for a full refund? This helps reduce a bookstore's risk in taking on more new books. Think about it: If you owned a bookstore, would you stock a book by a new or unknown author? Probably not - unless you knew the book was fully returnable! Select this package and we'll notify bookstores that your book is fully returnable - just like all the other books they stock. $59 FREE
Hardcover EditionIf you'd like to make your book available in a quality paperback and deluxe hardcover edition simultaneously, choose this optional package. We'll take the same file we use to print your book in paperback and turn it into a hardcover edition. Many authors choose this program to offer a nice hardcover edition to friends and family. The retail price of your hardcover edition will be higher. $149 $149 $149
Rush ServiceWant a book sooner than 90 days? Select this optional program and your book goes to the front of the line! We can get your book published in about 45 days. Keep in mind that from time to time circumstances beyond the control of Xulon Press may cause production to exceed those time periods. But we'll work twice as fast to get your book published. $299 $299 $299
