What do Canada, antique typewriters, and open access to knowledge have in common? The correct answer is Bob Young, founder of Lulu Press. Lulu revolutionized the way creators and seekers of knowledge come together by using open source tech to give authors easy tools to create and disseminate books without massive paywalls. Bob proudly asserts that Lulu.com welcomes the creation of all books, whether they sell more than one million or fewer than one thousand copies. The end result is this beautiful world where everyone can afford to publish written works, regardless of financing. With creations from 225 countries and in five languages, Bob guarantees to keep Lulu strong with its promise that “anyone with a book to print can create on Lulu without paying a penny upfront. We believe in creating something that inspires you.”
