Digital Bookmaking Announcement

"THREE-WAY ALLIANCE OFFERS SAME DAY BOOK MAKING"

Elizabethton, Tennessee, August 6, 2010 - STL Distribution, Dickinson Press Inc. (DPI), and Snowfall Press today announced an alliance that places an on-demand book-making facility within the world's largest Christian book distribution center.  Thousands of titles will now be digitally stored, virtually always in stock, and continuously ready immediately - one at a time if desired.  The alliance combines DPI's book-making expertise with Snowfall Press's next generation integrated production solution housed within STL's distribution facility.

STL will build a dedicated production facility inside their distrubution warehouse in Elizabethton, Tennessee, expected to be operational early in the first quarter of 2011.  DPI will purchase and manage the fully-automated digital book-making and binding solution provided by Snowfall Press.  Snowfall Press will oversee the build out and integration of the system.

The alliance will provide significant benefits to publishers and retailers alike. STL's ability to virtually carry all inventory (not just better selling titles) will open up the opportunity for incremental revenue, end "out of stock" books by immediately making whatever is ordered, allow niche titles and out of print books to be readily available and enable same day turn-around of orders.
