Publish Your Book In Multiple Versions – From the Book Marketing Buzz Blog

Can your book appear in 10 other forms? Yes, and then some. Here are some versions to consider:

1. Limited Edition – only so many are printed and no re-prints are made.
2. Deluxe Edition – the book is printed on special paper, the cover may have a special binding and feel, and it may come with something extra, like a DVD.
3. Hardcore Trade Edition – hardcover book, typically 6 x 9.
4. Trade Paperback – paperback book, typically 5.5 x 8.5.
5. Mass Market Paperback – smaller paperback book, usually 4 x 6.
6. Textbook Edition – enhance your book to look more like a textbook, with an index, list of resources, bibliography, study questions, etc.
7. Comic Book – adapt your book into a comic book, replete with illustrations and minimal text.
8. Book Digest – shortened version of your book, either with fewer chapters or shorter, condensed chapters.
9. Premium – book is slightly changed to meet the needs of a specific company or organization that buys the book in bulk quantity.
10. Series – create other books along the same theme as the first.
11. Revised or Annual Edition – add a chapter or two, update your info, and boom, you have a new book.
12. Audiobook.
