The publishing industry is full of publishers who are no more than glorified printers; they have no way of guaranteeing that your book will become a bookstore quality book, and frankly, they do not honestly care much about the quality. Some of the leading self-publishing companies not only create useless paper weights (so full of errors that they cannot be sold), but they still try to take away your rights and make you pay for your books.
Some publishers claim: “Your book will be placed in all the 25,000 bookstores.”
TRUTH: If someone tells you that your book will be in 25,000 bookstores, yet you are only printing fifty books with them, you obviously need to be very skeptical! The only way to be in 25,000 bookstores is to print a minimum of 25,000 books. What they are promising is the same thing any publisher can offer: the ISBN number will register you in a central computer that can be assessed by all 25,000 bookstores.

Today's Publishering Market
In today’s market, virtually every major publisher has evolved into utilizing some form of subsidy publishing. Of course, the old, traditional publishers still exist for the highly visible authors who have large audiences who stand ready to buy their next book. For example, if you have a nationwide television show, or are a popular entertainer or politician, you may still get your book published under the old royalty system and do fairly well economically.
However, most of the “old, traditional publishers” have now also added some sort of “subsidy publishing” to their arsenal for those authors who do not have a built-in following through which they can sell a large amount of books.
By using some form of subsidy publishing, many quality books that previously would not have been published are now available to the market. Of the 193,000 books published in the last year where records were available, the vast majority were under some sort of a “subsidy” arrangement. The subtle shift in the industry is that these subsidy products were produced under the supervision of a skilled publisher, thus producing a product far superior to most of the self-published books.
Partnership Publishing
In the three decades that CSN Books has been serving authors, we have evolved into what we call “Partnership Publishing.” In our system, the author does pay an extremely reasonable fee to publish his/her book, but unlike almost every other model, in our system, THE AUTHOR KEEPS THE BULK OF THE PROFITS!
For example, for books sold on our website, CSN Books takes only 20%, and returns a full 80% to the author. Most major sites will take from 50% to 65% and return the meager remains to the author. Despite that generous return to the author, we provide all the major services of any old, traditional publisher, such as proofing, editing, typesetting, cover design, publication, marketing, distribution and publicist services.

Even if you have already published your book by POD ( Print on Demand ) with another publisher , or if you have used a publisher and a webb press for your book , CSN Books can help.

Newest book coming by Dr. Peter Colman
A Riveting Saga of Redemption and Reconciliation
Father of the Man portrays a young boy, standing near the threshold of a remote window in time, his eyes trained on his father’s heroic ascent toward an unforeseeable anonymity. This creative autobiography reveals a reluctant, prodigal father and his estranged New England son, who, after decades of separation, returns to offer comfort, reconciliation and redemption in a father’s final hour. At the heroic moment of descent, both father and son find uncommon strength and enduring hope in the intimacy and joyous agony of restored love. Father of the Man belongs to every son and daughter yearning to rediscover and reaffirm their own humanity.
“This is the book to own, to treasure, to read and re-read, if you (as I) have become convinced that literacy has become uncommon among today’s writers….he (Peter) bestows to us the privilege of sharing his experience as he skillfully interweaves classic quotations into contemporary lifestyles.”
Herschell Gordon Lewis
“I have witnessed and ministered to hundreds of wounded and hurting people… I believe the deepest and most frequent wound is the father's wound. Read this book! It is an intimate roadmap to healing the father's wound.”
Dr. Raleigh Washington,
President, Promise Keepers and
President/CEO, The Road To Jerusalem
