Publishing & book production
Book production handled as publishing rather than as printing — the manuscript, the edition, the ISBN and the print run are separate things, and treating them as one is how authors end up with a box of books and no way to sell them.
What the work involves
Editorial and layout
Typesetting, pagination and proofing to a page count the press can actually impose.
Cover and spine
Cover design built to the finished spine width, which depends on paper and extent.
Edition and print run
ISBN, metadata, the run itself, and what happens to the copies afterwards.
What we produce
- Perfect-bound books
- Saddle-stitched booklets
- Hardcover
- Annual reports
- Journals & anthologies
- Reprints
- Digital editions
What moves the price
- Extent — the page count and paper
- Binding method
- Print run length
- Cover finish and lamination
Every quote is built from the machine, material, labour and finishing the job actually uses — so the number can be explained line by line rather than guessed at.
