Rice University Relaunches University Press – Online Only

Tim O’Reilly reports on a Wall Street Journal article about the online-only relaunch of Rich University Press.

An excerpt:

Although the new press will solicit and edit manuscripts the old-fashioned way, it won’t produce traditional books. The publishing house will instead post works online at a new Web site, where people can read a full copy of the book free. They can also order a regular, bound copy from an on-demand printer, at a cost far less than picking up the book in a store.
