background The Faber Film list has been at the forefront of Film publishing since the late seventies. It attracts such names as Scorcese, Lynch, and Almodavar to write about their own work, as well offering books on film making by such notables as Mike Figgis and Michael Deeley. Faber also publishes screenplays to tie in with film releases. Due to the nature of publishing, it is not possible to keep our whole backlist in print. ‘Print on Demand’ (PoD) as it’s name suggests, is a way to publish books from the Faber Film’s much sought after back catalogue in both printed and ebook form, as required and on demand. The launch and sale of Faber PoD from our website will attract a lot of media attention as it enables both students and film lovers to get hold of out of print classics such as the ‘Projections’ series. Please note: The digital aspects of Print on Demand were used imaginatively with Faber Finds; a series that combines illustrated typography and computer generated design to produce covers that are unique to each title. Part of what makes PoD possible is the ability to use and reproduce from design templates. Once a series style is set up, using guidelines, a printer should have the ability to produce further covers without compromising on good design. Using the PoD service for Faber Film’s backlist will be a dynamic way of creating an essential Faber Film library for anyone who loves film, bringing back “classic” titles. While most of the traffic would be on line, many of our top 10 film accounts from National Film Theatre bookshop to Cornerhouse Manchester would also take copies, therefore the covers should also stand out well on display.
