2. In order to get your book out into the public domain, I use my own account, the gateway to the other side. This part is a bulk of the service and facility you need. The account gives you: Print on demand industry and system, holds your digital file in storage so when a customer or you wish to have a copy they will print the book and send it to you or the customer, anywhere in UK and in USA. The account/Lulu also processes the money from the sale of the book and then divide the profit and then hold it in account, until the minimum threshold is made, £5 for PayPal account holder and £20, cheque by post to the address registered; it is up to you keep MPBS updated with your new address.

Your information of the book and the technical data and you are assigned to the ISBN and registered; this information is locked with that ISBN and it can never be changed.

The ISBN is not transferable. So by you paying the administration/fulfilment fee do not transfer the ownership of the ISBN. However, it gives you 80% share of the profit if you paid the full amount. MA retains 20% profit share from his property. A schedule of the profit split based on the amount you paid is laid out.

There is no Reversion of this ISBN and the book published, but you can cancel at a fee of £1,200( +vat when applicable) until this is satisfied the book will continue to be available on-line and for sale and you will receive your share, unless you express it in writing that you no longer wish to receive it.
