  • Overruns: When your book is printed, an overrun may occur as we print a higher than ordered quantity to compensate for spoilage that may occur in the various printing and binding processes. Overruns are priced per book based on the quoted price minus layout and design costs.

    Pages and Sheets: A sheet contains two pages. Your book is priced by page count not sheet count.

    Our Quantities: We print perfect bound books in quantities between 25 and 3,000 and hardcover books in quantities up to 1000. For perfect bound books the page count must be between 64 and 496 pages.

    Dustjackets: Dustjackets are not available for 6x9 or 8.25x10.75 digitally printed books.

    Hardcover Pricing: Many have asked, "how much more is a hardcover book than a softcover book?" For a 6x9" book with 192 pages, four-color cover, perfect bound the cost would be $4.88 each for 500 books and $3.68 each for 1000 books. The same book, bound hard cover, smyth sewn (without dustjacket) would cost $10.35 each for 500 books and $8.23 each for 1000 books.
