My paperback books now have permanently lower prices on Lulu.com than on Amazon!

Since November 2025 I have been reducing the prices of my paperbacks on Lulu.com in “odd” months, because I felt that the price hiking used by Amazon and other resellers was unfair to both my readers and me.

I have now found a way to permanently reduce the prices on Lulu.com by creating duplicate book projects, one for resellers only and the other just for Lulu.com. The book contents are identical, but the Lulu.com only versions will be printed on heavier paper (80gsm) and priced lower. The reseller versions will still be printed on 60gsm paper.

Book titleAmazon and other resellersLulu.com only
SAS Programming Experiences, 278 pages60gsm paper, £37.7380gsm paper, £23.32
Altair SLC, 112 pages60gsm paper, £21.0880gsm paper, £13.76

So which version would be the best choice for you?
