support independent print-on-demand publishers
This may sound blunt...but there are several reasons why you should support independent publishing, especially print-on-demand publishers.
The inconvenient truth of the matter is, your typical brick-and-mortar publishing house prints books from the crappiest materials possible and there is no precision to their manufacturing standards. Also, they only prioritize commercially-viable content, even the so-called 'non-profit publishing houses' behave this way.
If you truly want independent, human-authored, unbiased written-content in quality, archival books, then you should support independent print-on-demand publishers like Point Pleasant Publishing, not the big name or established publishing house brands.
Isn't the whole point of owning a 'book' is so the accumulated materials are archival to stand the test of time and contains free-spirited content?

Pretty funny how the mainstream commercialized art world pretends to behave like they represent the marginalized aspects of society when they still push a Western-European-North-American-male narrative in the contemporary art historical canon and practice oligarchical and surveillance-based tendencies in their operations.
Who are they fooling?
No. The mainstream commercialized art world are not 'freedom fighters' representing the marginalized aspects of society, rather, they are obsessed with controlling information, especially through academia and brick-and-mortar publishing houses. Which is why they find independent print-on-demand publishing so threatening and try to discredit the practice, despite the fact we publish quality-crafted books, human-authored, unbiased content, and do not censor artists...

Why do journalists and brick-and-mortar publishing houses hate print-on-demand publishing as a practice?
Journalists and brick-and-mortar publishing houses work together to discredit independent print-on-demand publishing as a practice. Why? Because they are madly obsessed with controlling information and feel threatened by the free-flowing competition of print-on-demand publishing.
Both of these factions portray themselves as the 'guardians of truth and quality' despite the fact brick-and-mortar publishing houses only prioritize commercially-viable content (censorship-by-omission) and print their books from the crappiest materials possible, while virtually all journalists write, edit, and publish with artificial intelligence.
Even the 'non-profit publishing houses' behave this way. Why do almost all journalists write / edit with artificial intelligence? Because literally everything on The New York Times is AI-generated or heavily AI-edited and journalists, newspapers, news-journals follow their lead. Even the headlines on The New York Times are AI-generated.
Support independent print-on-demand publishers like Point Pleasant Publishing if you want human-authored, unbiased, independent writing in quality, archival books. The free-flow of information is incredibly important, which is why brick-and-mortar publishing houses and AI-writing journalists HATE print-on-demand publishing as a practice...

Print-on-Demand is the future of publishing. This is the inconvenient truth the entire extended publishing industry does not want you to know about, including journalists, brick-and-mortar publishing houses, non-profit organizations, and segments of academia.
Why is print-on-demand the future of publishing?
1. Better quality materials and manufacturing for books. Much better...
2. Accessibility. Easily purchasable, not limited to any one geography. Can be printed at multiple locations.
3. Freedom of expression. No publishing house editors to 'approve' your content for distribution.
4. Giving a voice to the marginalized aspects of society. There is no gatekeeping. With a little bit of knowledge, literally anyone can become a print-on-demand publisher.
