"Edith and I are pleased to send you this copy of the new edition. We are generally pleased with the result, although we much preferred the UP cover that appeared much more inviting than this one... Our thanks once again for getting us started..."

Unlike other POD publishers that release almost anything (at the author's expense), UP is selective. Our goal is to make UP titles virtually indistinguishable in content, appearance and price from books released by major publishers. UP emphasizes quality over quantity.

Our conviction is that independently-published books need not be considered "poor cousins" to those from traditional publishers. While new technologies drastically reduce the initial cost of publishing a book, one need not sacrifice professional quality in the process.

The worldwide release of this fine book that started as a POD paperback from UP provides objective evidence that POD books can achieve broad readership and appeal in the "major leagues" of publishing.
