Summary
Bookvault prints books on demand from the UK, ships worldwide, and connects to Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, Payhip and Kickstarter for direct sales. It also lists titles with retailers such as Amazon, Gardners and Alibris, and offers special-edition finishes like sprayed edges and foiling from a single copy. It is print only, so it does not affect KDP Select ebook exclusivity, but a retail listing on Amazon could duplicate a KDP paperback.
