World Wide Distribution:
Your Book will be assigned a unique ISBN number, as well as inclusion in RR
Bowker's "Books in Print", the industry's most up-to-date listing of book,
spoken-word audio, and video products. Your book will also be available via
online retailers like Amazon.com, Borders.com, Target.com, VirginMega.com
and Waldenbooks.com and customers can purchase your book at thousands of
traditional bookseller worldwide through channels like Ingram Publisher
Services, Borders, Bertrams, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor,
BookSource, etc. FIVE Press sells your books to booksellers and leading
wholesalers via Ingram Publisher Services (IPS) at an industry leading
45-55% discount. Why is this important? The leading book wholesalers in the
US and Canada (Ingram and Baker & Taylor) and in the UK (Bertrams and
Gardners), are involved in roughly half of the trade book sales in the
United States and United Kingdom. The new deeper wholesale discount means
that Ingram and Baker & Taylor will resell your book to thousands of
retailers at discounts of 45-55% off this list price. The deeper discount
gives book retailers more incentive to sell your title. The discount and
margin book stores receive is similar to traditionally published titles.
They can order replacement copies from their favorite wholesaler-whether
that's Ingram, Baker & Taylor, or any other major wholesaler.
Authors with FIVE Press are placed in the Ingram Advance Catalog upon
release. The Ingram Advance is a monthly catalog that is distributed to
booksellers and libraries around the world.
When books are first released through FIVE Press, Ingram will produce a
short paragraph describing the title. Retail pricing information and a black
& white cover image will also be included.
A unique relationship with Google.
FIVE Press opens your book to the worldwide Google audience that's searching
for them. The Google Print program enables us to add your book to Google's
search results and increase your books' visibility, attract new readers and
boost book sales.
Clicking on one of your titles in the Google search results will lead users
to the page from the book on which the search terms appear, as well as links
leading to online booksellers. When a user does a Google search, books that
contain their search terms—will show up in the search results. Each Google
Print search result listing will show the book’s title and author, a short
excerpt containing the highlighted search terms, and the excerpt’s page
number.
Clicking on your book on a search results page takes users to a Google Print
content excerpt page–the scanned page from your book that contains their
search terms. Users will be able to view information like the book’s author,
publisher and cover image. There's also an easy way to do searches within
your book, and the 'Buy this Book' links take users directly to leading
online booksellers.
Users get a taste of your book—but only a taste. We allow Google to scan the
full text of your book because we want people to be able to search all its
content. But users can only access a limited portion of any given book each
month. They can also only browse two pages backward and forward from any
page where their search term appeared.
All the books we send to Google are hosted on Google servers and protected
by the same security as Google.com’s search data.
To further protect your book content, printing and image copying functions
are disabled on all Google Print content pages.

Author Purchases: FIVE Press will
always strive to stand out from the crowd of small publishers. In a world
full of self-publishing companies, or vanity press printers posing as
publishers, with goals seemingly set on selling you as many copies of your
own book as you can or can not afford, FIVE Press rose above with its policy
against marketing to or requiring you to purchase any copies of your own
book.
It is rewarding to see your words in print, but we want to help you make
publishing a financially rewarding experience too. With this in mind, we
offer our authors fixed pricing on book purchases. Not a discount off retail
price.
Rapid Availability: Your book will be made ready for sale in just 120 days or less; months faster than industry standards. With strategic launches that maximize your exposure and profits.
