Our online service is unique as we will offer your book for sale on our site and fulfil orders taken. We charge a handling fee which is part of the post and packaging charges. Therefore you are returned the full price of your book.

Short-run book work can cover a wide range of quantites from one-offs to a run of thousands. Today, most authors are carrying out the typesetting and page layout themselves and passing a disk onto us and we take it from there.

File formats:
Microsoft Word
Microsft Publisher
Quark Xpress
Adobe Illustrator
PDF
Adobe InDesign

Picture Formats:
Jpeg
Eps
Tiff

This gets a little complicated! Our differing processes require pictures saved in different formats:

For digital print it does not matter what format they are in - the computers sort it all out!

If your document is going to be printed offset litho the system tends to be little more fussy. Colour pictures need to be saved as CMYK (full colour for print). The file format needs to be either tiff or eps. If you are a scanning pictures or taking pictures from a digital camera they will need converting before they are inserted into your document.
