Reference specs
Illustrative reference figures, not a quote — your actual price comes from the calculator or a conversation once we've seen your project.
Instant estimate
No email neededJust an estimate — we'll nail down the exact number on your free call.
What we print
Four formats cover most of what comes through the door — spec it exactly in the calculator above regardless.
Novels & short story collections
The standard format for indie fiction and nonfiction — sized and priced for a book meant to be read, not a keepsake object.
Comics & graphic novels
Color accuracy and paper stock built for panel art, not text — proofed so the print matches what you sent, not a printer's guess at it.
Educational books & workbooks
Lay-flat and spiral options, perforated pages on request — built for a book that gets written in, not just read.
Children's books
Full-color interiors on stock sturdy enough for small hands, sized for picture books, early readers, and activity books alike.

Questions about book printing
Do I need to already have a book with you?▸
No — printing works standalone. Bring a print-ready PDF, or start from a free InDesign or Word template if you're not there yet.
What happens if the proof isn't right?▸
Nothing runs until you approve it. Corrections and a second proof are part of the process, not an extra charge for a first-round issue.
What binding should I pick?▸
Perfect binding suits most novels and nonfiction. Case (hardcover) suits gift and collector editions. Spiral suits workbooks and planners. Saddle stitching suits booklets under 64 pages.
Can I reorder more copies later at the same price?▸
Yes — your spec and proof are kept on file, so a reorder doesn't restart the quoting process. Per-copy pricing only shifts if your quantity crosses into a different tier or paper costs change.
Do you ship internationally?▸
Tracked delivery covers any US or UK address as standard; other destinations are quoted case by case once we know the address and quantity.
What file format do you need for a print-ready PDF?▸
A press-ready PDF with fonts embedded and bleed included, sized to the trim you've chosen — the free templates are already set up this way if you're starting from one.
