Paperback and hardcover
Trade softcover, casewrap, and jacketed hardback in the sizes readers expect on the shelf.
Paperback and hardcover, print-on-demand or short runs. Paper, trim, and binding are chosen for the title — not the cheapest default stock.
BUILT FOR
AUTHORS
A cream novel and a high-ink photography book should not share the same stock. We spec print the way a publisher would — then match files to that spec.
Trade softcover, casewrap, and jacketed hardback in the sizes readers expect on the shelf.
Sell one copy at a time worldwide, or print a short run for events without a garage of unsold cartons.
See color, paper, and binding on a physical proof when the job is ink-heavy or illustrated.
Print files match the same ISBN, barcode, and metadata the stores already have.
Every format is built to the same interior and cover system, so paperback, hardcover, and reprints stay consistent.
Standard trade trims, cream or white interiors, matte or gloss covers.
Case wrap or jacketed hardback when the title needs shelf presence.
One copy at a time, printed close to the reader. No warehouse required.
Author copies and event stock without a 5,000-unit gamble.
Interior and cover files must be print-ready. We will not “make it work” from an RGB screenshot.
Size, paperback vs hardcover, matte or gloss — locked before files are built.
Bleed, fonts, images, and spine width calculated from the real page count.
Digital or physical, depending on color risk and illustration.
POD for ongoing sales, or a dated short run you cannot miss.
Retail distribution, author copies, or both.

POD versus offset, color interiors, and author copies.
Modern POD is how most indie books live. Offset still wins on unit cost at high volume and on some color work. We will say which lane fits.
Yes, with files prepared for color. Expect a different cost than black-and-white fiction.
As many as you want to store. We will help you avoid a 2,000-copy bet on an untested title.
Retail POD already prints close to the reader. Bulk cartons can ship; ask for a freight quote rather than guessing postage.
