Ward Printed in the United States Sacramento Public Library I Street Press 828 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 [email protected] I Street Press is a service of the Sacramento Public Library and is not a separate publishing entity. High-quality, perfect-bound paperback printing is provided.

Conversely, the hardest part for every author is writing and revising their book. Library staff cannot help write or edit an author’s book. We can make printing their books as stress-free as possible. We do make suggestions on formatting and creating covers that speed the process. Staff of the I Street Press (henceforth known simply as Staff) strive to make the author’s experience in self-publishing as clean and rewarding as possible. There are five elements of self-publishing that Staff make every effort to achieve with every author. These five features make self-publishing with the I Street Press memorable. Simplicity – Staff have ample experience in the self-publishing industry, knowing the simplest route to help each author achieve a finished book. We have the tools available, the knowledge to teach authors how to format their books and the expertise to create simple covers that work. While some authors may demand a complicated interior, with charts and images, text boxes and side panels, most of those who use the I Street Press want a clean and uncomplicated interior. Staff stress the reasons for not having an interior that is distracting to the reader at it is presented on the page. We encourage a seamless layout and design so that the reader will focus on the author’s writing and not be preoccupied by a confusing presentation. Realistic Expectations – Most authors carry an expectation of the process without having the experience or the practice of making a book. They see the finished product, books done by other publishers, whether well-known or vanity presses, and expect similar results. What they do not know is that they will get to see the entire process, from formatting to printing and binding their book. With this experience comes a level of comfort in writing and finishing more books. First-time authors are impressed with the unexpected results, while those who have penned other titles printed by the I Street Press tailor their work for the final result. Reaction – Those who have worked diligently on their writing are always enthusiastic and happy when they watch the first copy of their book print right before their eyes. Staff have witnessed authors’ reactions ranging from giggling to tears of joy. Many authors appear stoic until they hold the first copy of their newly printed book. Their hard work has paid off. Concrete results – One of the goals of our Staff is to not take money until the author is ready to print. Having a concrete book, something they can hold in their hands and page through, gives each author a feeling of accomplishment. Authors get to pull the first copy of i their book out of the delivery chute. What had been a dream is now a reality and they will leave holding their book in their hands. Integrity – Usually the first book off the press is a proof copy meant to be carefully examined for errors in writing and grammar, in layout and design. It is the intent of Staff to never print books without the author’s full approval. Staff help authors achieve their goals by helping them self-publish. The I Street Press remains a premier service of the Sacramento Public Library, with a national and international impact on the self-publishing world. The Library and the I Street Press would like to acknowledge the work of a number of individuals, without whom the I Street Press could not have been as productive: David Henson Mary Ellen Burns Larry Fox Devon McMindes Melissa Lopez Natalye Abuan Megan Civitello Sally Bang Michelle Reeves Melani Adachi ii I Street Press The I Street Press began operation in October of 2011, moving into full book production by May of 2012. The I Street Press is a fee-based service of the Sacramento Public Library (SPL), using an On Demand Books (ODB) Espresso Book Machine (EBM) to produce quality, perfect-bound paperback books. Prospective authors attend free information sessions, presented twice a month, to learn what the I Street Press can and cannot do for them in helping them self-publish their books. After the session, Staff takes appointments with individual authors to assess their work to ensure the formatted documents can be printed by the EBM. Books printed may be for individual distribution to family and friends, or sold through retail outlets, online, and brick-and-mortar stores. Structured fees are set to meet the hard costs of producing a book. These fees include one of two set-up fees, per-book costs, extra services (e.g., help with cover design, ISBN, barcode, LCCN), plus tax. SPL currently has access to the International ODB database to upload books printed for wider distribution. Because of the unique service under the authority of SPL, the I Street Press can neither sell books locally nor distribute royalties to authors. When a title is uploaded to the ODB database, it may be printed by any outlet that has access to the database, but especially those places with an EBM. There are a number of criteria used to measure and evaluate the success of the I Street Press. These sources include: number of authors using the I Street Press number of titles uploaded number of physical books printed programming and attendance statistics publishing appointments receipts for services rendered iii Authors and Titles There are 462 titles in the I Street Press inventory by 360 authors. Subjects for books includes fiction, biography, self-help, poetry, religion, local history, children’s books, college textbooks and senior projects. Languages are not limited to English, but include Spanish, German, Finnish and Farsi. The number of copies of each title printed range from one to hundreds.

Often, an author will have two appointments or more before finishing and self-publishing their book. Some authors will come and use the I Street Press on a regular or irregular basis because they are publishing more than one title.

  • James Rollins Is the New York Times Bestselling Author of International Thrillers, Translated Into More Than Forty Languages
    James Rollins is the New York Times bestselling author of international thrillers, translated into more than forty languages. His Sigma series has been lauded as one of the “top crowd pleasers” (New York Times) and one of the “hottest summer reads” (People Magazine). In each novel, acclaimed for its originality, Rollins unveils unseen worlds, scientific breakthroughs, and historical secrets—and he does it all at breakneck speed and with stunning insight. Known for building high-octane adventures on a solid science foundation, Jim juxtaposes the familiar with the exotic and then turbo-charges his tales with suspense. Always mindful of historys legacy, Jim reveals how secrets, some hidden for centuries, can change the course of human events. His novels explore how advancing technology can impact society not just by the physical threats of unchecked developments, but also the spiritual and moral challenges that result. The true terror of technology is not the cogs and the wheels, but how it will change us, he says. Explosive, Page-Turning Adventures Jim has brought readers at least one book a year since his first thriller, Subterranean, was published in 1999. His novels have been deemed perfect “summer reads” by reviewers in publications as diverse as People magazine, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly. His books have been translated for readers in 32 countries outside the United States. Going Global – With Books, Laptop, and Backpack The exotic locales of James Rollins novels have emerged as a hybrid between imagination, research, and Jims extensive travels throughout the United States and Europe, as well as New Zealand, the South Pacific, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America.

Personnel from the neighboring base rush in to discover every- one already dead—and not just the scientists, but every living thing for fifty square miles is annihilated: every animal, plant, and insect, even bacteria. The land is entirely sterile—and the blight is spreading. To halt the inevitable, Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma must unravel a threat that rises out of the distant past, to a time when Antarctica was green and all life on Earth balanced upon the blade of a knife. Following clues from an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of Alexandria, Sigma will discover the truth about an ancient continent, about a new form of death buried under miles of ice.

Combining elements of scientific speculation, military suspense, threats of global destruction, and the sheer wonder of a truly unexplored realm, THE DEMON CROWN (William Morrow hardcover, ISBN 9780062381736, $28.99, on sale December 5, 2017) has all the trademark aspects that make a quintessential Sigma thriller while possessing an individuality and inventiveness all its own. Clancy put military thrillers on the map; Turow did the same for legal thrillers; Robin Cook was the pioneer of medical thrillers; Crichton, the creator of speculative science thrillers; and Dan Brown, took religious, code breaking thrillers to soaring heights. All incredibly innovative, creative writers, but what they did was set the stage for one author, who combines elements of many
