: Re: Do traditional publishers ever make use of "print on demand" (POD)? Do traditional publishers always use offset printing for the books they publish, or do they sometimes use POD to make books

Yes, some of them use POD for their back-catalogue.

Bloomsbury Publishing has launched a digital global publisher, called Bloomsbury Reader, that will sell a back-catalogue of titles in e-book and print-on-demand format.
Bloomsbury Reader will sell books that have either never been printed before or haven't been available in print for many years. The range incorporates every genre including romance, children's stories, science fiction, politics, travel writing, biographies and poetry.

Print-on-demand as it affects conventional publishing agreements
Developments in cheap print-on-demand (POD) should make it easier to keep slow-selling titles available. This is good news; but it is prudent to consider safeguards. Works still available via POD might never go out of print, but the publisher might be sitting on a title which a new publisher would be happy to relaunch and promote along with its publication of your latest book.
