Faber launches print-on-demand classics
Guy Dammann writing in The Guradian.

Could out-of-print books be a phenomenon of the past? That's the question that will be facing publishers, agents and authors after the launch on June 2 of a new imprint from Faber and Faber designed to make available a large number of titles which until now have been out of print.
The new imprint, called Faber Finds, will publish such classic titles as Angus Wilson's Anglo Saxon Attitudes and John Betjeman's Ghastly Good Taste, as well as relatively recent titles such as John Carey's acclaimed biography of John Donne. Faber Finds will make use of print-on-demand technology in order to allow for print runs of between one and 50 books at a time, thereby avoiding the financial risks associated with traditional publishing's requirement for large-volume print runs.

The new titles, which will retail at about £9, and be printed with automatically
generated cover designs, will not be stocked in large quantities by
booksellers, but will be available to order through most major booksellers
and the majority of internet-based book retailers.

The publisher aims to publish up to 20 new titles every month, after the launch list of 100 books to be made available this June.
