TKOH,
Publishing Services is a national print broker. That means we
have contracted volume discounts from established, reputable
book printers across the country. We pass the volume discounts
on to you so you receive great prices for true,
BOOKSTORE-QUALITY printing.
We suggest that you discuss your printing
with us early in the planning stage. We will help you clarify
your printing needs. The most important decisions you will make
with regard to your printing will be what
size of book,
what sort of
paper,
and what
binding
will be used for your book. We will also discuss how many
copies
you should print based on your needs.
Because of our long term
relationships with our printers, we can often produce your book
to your complete satisfaction in four weeks or less. |
Definition of
Terms
| Binding |
The process of securing
the pages of the book to your cover. The most common processes
are Perfect Binding, Case Binding and Saddle Stitch. |
| Perfect
Binding |
Most paperback books use
this style of binding; the pages are glued to the square spine
of the cover. Found in most books above 48 pages. |
| Case
Binding |
Also referred to as Hard
Cover, this is a high quality binding used to enhance the
quality of the book. A minimum of 48 pages is recommended. |
| Saddle
Stitch |
Used frequently on books
that are less than 48 pages; Saddle Stitching uses a stapling
process that is common for pamphlets and booklets. |
| Book Sizes |
This decision is based on
your book type; the most common and cost-effective size is 5 3/8
x 8 1/2. We will suggest the size that best fits the format of
your book.
|
| Paper
Types |
There is an incredible
range of stocks available, however only some are suited for book
printing. We recommend the 50 lb. or 60 lb. bright white stock
for quality and durability.
|
| Copies |
How many copies we print
will depend on your needs as an author. The most common error is
to order too small a quantity on the first print. You can be
throwing money away by not taking advantage of the high volume
discount associated with the bigger runs. You can save as much
as 200% on your per-book cost between 500 and 2000 copies. |
