Print on Demand book printing for Self Publishing authors and small to large publishers.

Onetime Setup fee: In order to print on demand, we must first set up your title in our system. We charge a onetime setup fee of $200. For this, we will take your book's interior in PDF format, process and store it electronically, and set up your cover artwork so that it will print correctly and fit properly with the interior. Using your ISBN, we will create and insert a barcode onto the back of the book. We will then print and ship you a hard copy proof book via UPS 2-day. Turnaround time is 7-10 business days.

Setup Options:

CD in a book setup: For an additional $100, we can accept a CD from you to include in the printed book. This can be either an audio CD or a data CD containing pictures, text, movies, audio, web pages, etc. You must own the rights to any material on the CD.

Audio Narration: For us to record a full CD of narration, you would provide us with up to 10,000 words of text, and the setup cost would be an additional $500. This would include the narrator, the recording, the audio editing, quality control, and mastering. It would also include music and spoken credits at the beginning and end of the program.

Cover design: Using your input, or taking a photo or image of yours, we can custom design a beautiful book cover for $150.

Book Pricing: There are three elements to the cost of printing your book: The "interior printing" cost, the "finishing" cost and the "CD in a book" cost.

To get the printing cost of the interior, determine how many interior "leaves" will be in the finished book. Leaves are the total sheets of paper in the book when finished. So for example, 100 "pages" (printed on both sides of the paper) equal 50 leaves.

Finishing cost: Add this to the interior cost using the table below.

Books that include a CD: Cost per book with CD inside is quantity-based: Orders of 2-8, add $5.00 per book; orders of 10-48, add $2.00 per book; orders of 50-248, add $1.50 per book, and on orders of 250 or more, add $1.20 per book.
