Set Up Cost, Proof Reading, Bound Sample & Loose Leaf Sample:

It is very important to understand that included in the above prices is a £60 charge for :

  • Setting up your job in a suitable postscript format for printing.
  • The I.T. charge to us for backing up your job to 2 different servers - one of which is off site.
  • Providing you with a bound sample copy which will be supplied unlaminated.

The purpose of the sample copy is not for you to proof read - we assume you have already done this. Rather it is just for you to see how the finished print run will look and for you to make sure there are no major problems with your design.

If you decide to make changes to the book after receiving the sample (no matter how small) then the work we have done so far will have to be deleted from the back-up servers and we will have to start all over again. We are unable to make any changes to the postscript file we have already created for you as these file types are not editable. Therefore a further £60 set up charge will apply.

If you want a loose leaf run out first for you to proof read prior to us carrying out the set up then this is available at £15 and includes a run out of the cover. If you have not self published a book before we strongly recommend that you choose this option.

What We Need

  • The prices shown above are based on you supplying us with a PDF of the whole job. We are happy to give you assistance with the spine.
  • We can often work with Word or Publisher files etc. but there is a supplement of £30 for the extra work involved. Make sure you have laid it out exactly as you want it. We DO NOT offer a layout service from text files.
  • We cannot work from hard copy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spine Width
                           
When designing your cover you need to allow for the spine. This obviously depends on the number of pages in your book. Either ask us to calculate this for you or use the following formulae. Bear in mind that a sheet of paper is 2 pages. If you do not want a spine marking and the background of your cover is just white then you need only supply the back & front cover as 2 separate files and we'll add the spine ourselves.
