Golden Pheasant Press is a new type of publishing service that specializes in using the most modern Print On Demand services to produce professionally bound reference books for the collecting and historical research community.

We work on the principle that there are hundreds of great books for collectors and enthusiasts that never get published because of the hurdles authors have to go through to see their work in print. And that's a shame, because there are thousands of experts looking to share their unique knowledge with other collectors, whether it's a specialized 10-page booklet or a thick reference book.

Unlike self-publications and vanity presses, with Golden Pheasant Press the only work the author has to do is the creative part, and we can even help you with final touches like the cover and pre-press formatting. Golden Pheasant Press handles the mechanics of getting your book into print as well as the all important means to sell it. Traditionally authors of small run reference books have had to spend their own money just to have their book put into print, whether it is for so-called "publishing" or "editing" fees, or being required to buy a minimum number of their own finished books. Self-publishing through a copy shop, photocopier or printer leaves you with books you still have to assemble and sell yourself - not to mention the out of pocket expenses of printing, binding and considerable problem of doing your own selling. That's where Golden Pheasant Press is different from vanity presses.

At Golden Pheasant Press, if you have a computerized file of your written material we can turn it into a beautiful book in a few weeks, and have it offered for sale immediately over the Internet, where it will be printed to order and shipped within 3 days directly to your buyers. And it doesn't matter if you sell one copy or a thousand. Golden Pheasant Press only makes money if you do. The best part is the books are sold at remarkably affordable prices, and your royalty rate as an author is higher than traditional publishing.

Golden Pheasant Press does not generally offer hands-on services to authors for extensive editing, graphics and layout. Unlike other "publishers", that is not how we make our money. We want to make money because your book fills a need in the hobby reference or collecting community and sells like crazy. We will generally do some pre-press formatting and produce cover art for our books at no cost to the author. We are also happy to give helpful advice and will carefully proofread manuscripts to ensure a high quality product, but at the end of the day our authors have absolute control over the look and content of their works.

If you are looking for a book like that, you've come to the right place. If you are thinking about writing a book like that, we'd love to hear from you.
