Two independent
booksellers invested about $50,000 to open a digital,
print-on-demand company in downtown Troy to offer writers a
low-cost way of getting books published.
The Troy Book Makers at 3 Third St. is a joint
venture of The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza in Guilderland and
The Bookloft in Great Barrington, Mass.
The company has published about 90 paperback
titles, including family histories, memoirs, cookbooks, fiction and
nonfiction, since opening about two years ago, said Melissa
Batalin, business manager.
The Book House and The Bookloft relied on
word-of-mouth promotion to let authors know about the service. Now
they are actively publicizing the business.
