A first from Best Books
We realise that for many the cost of self publishing can be prohibitive.
Our prices are probably the keenest in the business, but finding a large amount of money up front can deter many excellent authors.
We have introduced a new credit payment method which allows for payment to be made over a six month period, probably the only print on demand company in the UK to do this.
With our system you pay in stages, the same way that your book is compiled for eventual publication.
Twenty five per cent of the payment is made upon signing a contract with us and the rest is split over six equal payments, with only a five per cent charge for the facility.
We don't think you will find a better deal in the print on demand industry.
Call us on 07092 103738,
or e-mail us at
publishing@bestbooksonline.co.uk for full details.

New service from Best Books
Best Books has a new service to help you with writing and eventually publishing your book.
Using our many years experience in the writing world we can now offer to completely appraise and rewrite your manuscript. Many people have the concept of a great story, fact or fiction, but are perhaps unhappy with their own ability to put it into words.
We will look at your work free of charge, and if we consider we can improve its presentation we will give an individual quotation. Anyone using this rewrite service will receive a discount off our self publishing package if they decide to publish with us.
This is a unique service. To discuss it e-mail us at
publishing@bestbooksonline.co.uk

Writersworld warning
Unfortunately Mediaworld and Best Books have become the target for the attentions of an unscrupulous self publisher going under the banner of Writersworld. The company is run by one Graham Cook, known nationally for his obsession with trying to sue people for absolutely nothing at all.
So far we have had a succession of rude, insulting and totally false e-mails which we can deal with, but his paranoia has become such that we have reported him to Trading Standards.
We advise anyone who values their sanity, and their money, to avoid this man at all costs.
