We focus on results

  • I found the site gave me a good guide to the process and also the personal contacts regarding my queries with Donna helped considerably. I was very pleased with the printing result, as was my family when receiving their copy of our family history. I would highly recommend the company to others for an efficient service at a reasonable price.

    It was my first experience of book publishing.
  • I ordered 100 perfect bound books and received 10 free, which was great. I have recommended The Book Printing Company to my friends and associates. Self-publishing has been easy thanks to these ladies. The books look great! This company is honest and their customer service is second to none.
