PD Picks — Steven's print-on-demand picker

Top 5 by market research

1. Pride and Prejudice — Proven $50–$90 woven blankets selling with 5-star reviews — win with a different quote or Peacock Edition art, not the same Darcy letter.
2. Poe — The Raven — 5,000+ Poe listings; premium blanket / Doré Raven is less crowded than the $10 canvas.
3. Alice in Wonderland — Demand proven, but the exact Tenniel image is saturated as $3 downloads — only enter with the edited / recoloured + quote version.
4. Dracula — 1,000+ listings, mostly film / Lugosi — a book-only castle + Stoker quote is the less-crowded lane.
5. Sherlock Holmes — Loyal niche; Sidney Paget's PD illustrations are underused at premium price.

Lanyon / Potter and Zane Grey have almost no POD competition at all — unique, but unproven demand. Full research: pd-gallery/market-research-2026-11-07.md
