Are createspace books still of a noticeably lesser quality printing than non-print-on-demand books? I saw a few a while (a few years?) ago, and the quality offended me, so I wrote off createspace. I'd be interested to learn that's not the case anymore.
(Just to preemptively clarify: The bad quality I mentioned was most noticeable when compared to a non-POD book. On its own, it looks OK-ish and you might not think anything of it, but when you look at it next to another book you can tell.)
The book itself seems pretty neat though! I'm a PDFs for tech books kind of guy, personally.
- wtbob 10y agoI used CreateSpace for a hardback book seven years ago (LaTeX → PDF), and it came out very, very nice. Absolutely no complaints. Was your experience with their paperbacks or hardbacks?
- joemi 10y agoGiven that it was a few years ago, I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure I only saw paperbacks.
- misternugget 10y agoI'm actually really surprised by the quality. I expected, as you put it, "non-print-on-demand" quality, but what I got has no obvious flaws or defects and a really high quality feel to it.
