FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
*Best-Selling Ebook Publisher Spiderworks Chooses Lulu And Print-On-Demand
For 'First To Market' Status With Release Of New Automator Book For Mac OS
X Tiger*
Print-on-Demand at Lulu.com Delivers the Very First Book in New Series of
"Mac OS X Technology Guides" to Consumers within Days of the Release of Mac
OS X
RALEIGH, NC--May 2, 2005--Lulu Enterprises, the world's only marketplace
for independent publishing and print-on-demand of all digital content,
including books, music and photos, today announced the exclusive book
release of SpiderWorks' "Mac OS X Technology Guide to Automator" by Ben
Waldie at Lulu.com. The book is considered the essential guide to the
Automator software included in Apple Computer's new Mac OS X Tiger and is
the first Automator book available to consumers.
SpiderWorks, a specialist in how-to eBooks and printed books, was able to
accomplish this speed-to-market through Lulu. Since standard publishers are
unable to accommodate last minute rewrites and OS changes, Lulu's
print-on-demand technology and ability to make the book available
immediately guaranteed that, only days after the release of Mac OS X Tiger,
SpiderWorks would have the first published book dedicated to Automator. The
book is available right now from SpiderWorks.com and Lulu.com. To purchase
"Mac OS X Technology Guide to Automator" by Ben Waldie, please see

"The release of the new SpiderWorks title is a perfect example of the
benefits of independent publishing through Lulu.com," said Gart Davis,
president, Lulu Enterprises. "Print-on-demand allows us to accept last
minute changes to the text, so you can finish writing the night before
launch and still be the first to market. You cannot deny the edge that
'speed to market' delivers in today's competitive environments."
Future "Mac OS X Technology Guides" will cover other Mac OS X Tiger
innovations, such as Dashboard and Spotlight. Please visit the
SpiderWorks.com web site for details.
