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.

Which paper is best for my book?

Choosing the right paper type and thickness is an essential part of creating a professional and appealing book. The paper you select not only impacts the overall look and feel of your book but also affects the technical aspects of its design, such as margins and binding. Understanding the relationship between paper type, thickness, and your book’s genre will help you make informed decisions that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your book.

The Importance of Book Margins

Books margins are not a fixed number and will change as you write your book. There are many things that can determine the best margins for a book such as the number of pages in your book and the paper stock that you intend to use in the printing process. The purpose of the margins is to ensure that the text is centered in the middle of the bound page.

Book Fonts - The Book Printing Company's Top Picks for Readability and Aesthetics

One of the most common questions we are asked, is what font should be used in a book, "Sans serif" or "serif". There are two primary styles of type: "sans serif" and " serif". "Serifs" are the tiny tails on the text. Most books use a 11 to 12 pt serif font for the body copy and a bold sans serif fonts for chapter titles and headers. Depending on the age of your target audience the larger type could be more suitable.
