We had a very good experience publishing our Puṣpikā volume with HASP
<https://hasp.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/?lang=en>. They are an open access
publisher focusing on Asian studies. They do not charge OA fees,
organize peer review on request, and offer printed versions as print on
demand for a very moderate fee. More details on their services:
https://hasp.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/publishing/for_authors.
Further fair open access (FOA) options are collected at the FOASAS
website, run by Dominik Haas and myself: https://foasas.org/#journals.
If you know of any other good OA publishers not yet listed here please
get in contact with us.
Best wishes,

The Australian National University Press (ANU Press) is a leading
open-access publisher. They don't charge to publish book per se, but
they do require authors to use one of their approved copy-editors. I
have followed this path twice - both for 500-page volumes. The total
cost for each volume was about US$4000.
Hope this helps

*Subject:* [INDOLOGY] about Routledge and Open Access fees
Dear colleagues,
For several years now I have observed colleagues publishing their
monographs or edited volumes with Routledge, asking myself why any
colleague should wish to entrust such a ruthlessly profit-oriented
enterprise with their scholarly work, while there are more sympathetic
commercial publishers not to mention quite a number of non-commercial
publishers willing and able to publish Indological research.
Anyhow, I wish to report a concrete bad experience. Several colleagues
participating in the ERC project DHARMA have contributed to a volume
published earlier this year in the Routledge Worlds series. Since the
ERC requires research produced thanks to its funding to appear in Open
Access, it seemed necessary to us to accept paying the publisher's
Open Access fees in order to ensure that the contributions by said
colleagues would appear in Open Access. My employer has paid £3.750,00
funding to the publisher late last year as "Fees for making three
chapters Open Access in the book The Angkorian
World." See the attachment. From the budget of the ERC project
Archaeospace, initiated by my colleague Damian Evans (incidentally,
one of the editors of the volume), we paid the same sum once more for
three other chapters, though I was not involved in that decision. The
book was published on 28 April
(https://www.routledge.com/The-Angkorian-World/Hendrickson-Stark-Evans/p/book/9780815355953)
and yet not a single chapter has so far been made available in Open
Access by the publisher. They would seem to have taken European tax
payers' money and run with it.
Yesterday one of the editors wrote to me: "I received word from
Routledge that they are working on making the six chapters open
access. I am not sure why this is taking so long but it is pretty much
par for the course with this publishing house. Avoid them in the
future is my advice." I could not agree more with this advice.
Best wishes,

The Angkorian World
<https://www.routledge.com/The-Angkorian-World/Hendrickson-Stark-Evans/p/book/9780815355953>
The Angkorian World explores the history of Southeast Asia’s largest
ancient state from the first to mid-second millennium CE. Chapters by
leading scholars combine evidence from archaeology, texts, and the
natural sciences to introduce the Angkorian state, describe its
structure, and explain its persistence over more than six centuries.
Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be an indispensable
resource for anyone studying premodern Asia. The volume’s first of six
sections provides his
