Growing, growing, growing – Lulu.com keeps on growing

July 3, 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) –   Lulu.com, the premier online self-publisher, makes up 27% of all print-on-demand content and with over 1.3 million users, is adding more printers to support this growth and better serve customers.  The print-on-demand publishing industry continues to grow with a 38% increase over the last year, making it clear that the self-publishing and on-demand trend is still booming.

Lulu.com’s international presence continues to grow with the addition of a printer in Australia, now serving users in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.  “With this outstanding printer joining the Lulu printing network, customers in this area no longer have to pay more for shipping than they do the for the book. They will also receive their Lulu creations quicker from technology that delivers the best breed of print quality in the industry,” says Andrew Pate, Vice President of Global Fulfillment.

The most popular Lulu products, like 6x9 black & white soft cover books, will be available through this print vendor with other products coming in the future. Pate says, “Telling your story is a universal thing – everyone has something to say and as more people start to use Lulu to share their creativity, we intend to include more and more printers to maintain our mission to better serve our users.”
