Unlimited Publishing (UP):
"Move UP to the professional POD book publisher!"

UP applauds Lulu's 'no-cost-to-the-author' system for self-publishing. For authors who prefer to work with a publisher, UP uses Lulu's state-of-the-art technologies to publish top quality "print on demand" (POD) books, a substantial cut above typical POD book publishing fare. For qualified books, authors pay no fees of any kind, and receive generous royalties. In exceptional cases, modest advances may be considered.

UP has multiple printing and distribution outlets with the largest suppliers in the mainstream book publishing industry, and thousands of contacts with U.S. newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations. As a result, many UP books receive major media coverage, solid critical review from literary and professional journals, and award nominations. Please see UP NEWS for documented reports. Our goal is to combine the best of both worlds: the speed and economy of POD, with the high standards of a mainstream book publisher.

Below are examples of UP's unique hybrid of high tech book production and distribution methods, combined with proven professional publishing practices. Please check back periodically to preview other UP books, which are featured on a rotating basis.

The Great Drug War (Royal Edition)
Special "Royal" Size Edition: Widely praised as a controversial but thoughtful alternative to drug control policies of its time, the first edition of The Great Drug War was released in 1987 by Macmillan Publishing. Nearly 20 years later, it is clear that the drug interdiction policies of the 'eighties and 'nineties failed, and that Trebach's alternative proposals deserve a new look from today's perspective. The 2005 edition can re-open a long-overdue dialogue between educators, policy makers and health professionals about the reasons why America still faces a drug crisis. It includes a new introduction covering more recent developments in the use of medical marijuana, the relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism, and other fresh new material. This "Royal" size edition is not available in bookstores, or from other online booksellers.

Sisters and Brothers/Daughters and Sons: Meeting the Needs of Old Parents
LIBRARY-TEXTBOOK QUALITY HARDBACK: Sarah Matthews, Ph.D. serves as sociology chair at Cleveland State University, and is the author of three books about aging. The number of middle-aged children today who have parents is unprecedented. Having old parents, however, is rarely portrayed as a privilege. Too often parents are depicted as a problem for their adult children, in large part because of the disproportionate attention paid to the very frail, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease. The study reported in this book asked 149 pairs of siblings who had at least one parent over the age of 75 how they interacted with their elderly parents and one another as members of older families. The results are not only a more realistic picture of the full spectrum of later life families, but also a much more positive one. This special hardback edition is not available from bookstores or other online booksellers.
