Xlibris is a Philadelphia-based vanity press and on-demand printing services provider. Xlibris gives creative control and ownership rights to the author.
The name is a derivation of the Latin term ex libris which means "from the library of".
An early supporter of Xlibris and the industry in general is sci-fi author Piers Anthony[1]. In December 1997, he and his wife became a part of Xlibris as venture capitalists. Later Xlibris formed a partnership with Random House.
