Book Publishing

Extraordinary Print and Online presentations since 1996

Our focus is history and visual arts. We also publish DVD, usually to be enclosed with a book. We sell books we publish on our own Online Bookstore. We do NOT provide marketing services, although we will make suggestions as to how you can find the right market–which is almost always digital–for your print or e-book. Working with us will save you a lot of money as opposed to POD (print on demand) vanity publishers, where you pay them to print your book, then buy it from them and try to sell each copy for enough to cover your ‘publishing’ costs.

With us, our initial press run, because it includes our production fee, is the highest cost you will incur. After that, your reprints cost around $4-$6 each, as opposed to paying as much as $25 for a book that will sell for about $19.95. At no time, however, will the cost to print a book with us be higher than the retail price to sell it.

Custom Book Publishing

From your first thought about writing a book to holding the first printed copy in your hands, we will make your author’s journey a positive and successful experience.  We’re here to help. We will work with you in person, on the phone, by e-mail – however it works best for you. This is a collaborative process. We work closely with you on conceptual design and advise on content. We help with photographs and copy, offering suggestions throughout the process. When your manuscript is ready, we’ll “finalize” your book’s file, make sure it meets the printer’s specifications, and send it off to be printed, then shipped to you.

One-on-one Customer Service.

This isn’t an el cheapo web link that forces you “pick from our 50 boring  book design templates” so you can look like everybody else. You will own your own book and hold the copyright. We don’t hoard your files and charge you an arm and a leg to release them later. In fact, we insist that you keep a current backup copy throughout the entire publishing. Working with authors is one of the greatest services we offer.
