It's
your story, your
book and we believe
the design and layout
should be yours
too. The
size and finish
of your book is
controlled by you,
but you should be
aware of all the
factors which might
influence your decision.
The
market
Look at the competition.
For example, if
you need to compete
on a store shelf
next to other large
format cook books
then you need to
take that into account.
Function
Is the book expected
to survive a lot
of abuse, like a
text book or manual?
Does it need to
lay flat, like a
reference or instructional
title. Is it a legacy
item meant to last
for 100 years? Questions
like this will help
us determine the
physical makeup
of the book, it’s
paper stock, binding
method, and size.
Cost
If your title is
meant for resale,
the printed unit
cost is always a
factor. Things which
influence print
costs are page count,
paper choice, size
and color.
