Preparing Your Book for Printing

You can make the process of book printing and binding go even more smoothly by taking time up front to prepare your book for printing.

You can use our free book templates to make sure your files are set up properly for printing and formatting. Taking extra care to edit and proof your book before you submit your final files will save you reprint costs if you find a mistake after  the fact.


When your manuscript is ready to be submitted to our online ordering system, be sure to export it to PDF before submitting. We can help you through this process, or you can use your word-processing program’s “Save to PDF” function. (We also recommend the free software called DoPDF, available for download on our website.)


 

  • File specifications
  • Make sure resolution is set to 600 dpi
  • Embed fonts
  • Choose “Press Quality” preset (if available)
  • Select Image Quality: Maximum (if available)
  • A high-quality PDF is the first step in printing a high-quality book!


 

How much does it cost to print your own book?

  • Printing your own book can be surprisingly affordable — less than $5 a book. Your costs will vary depending on your customizations, so you control how much you spend.


 

Binding, paper, page count

  • When you set up your 48 Hour Books printing order, you’ll specify your binding choice, paper type, and number of pages. Different styles of binding have different costs and increasing the number of pages can increase the price, too.


  • We also offer discounts on your book printing order. When you buy 100 printed books, you get 25 free — a 25% savings! Of course, if you order more than 100 books, we’ll still give you the 25 free. (Example: order 200 books and get 25 free for a total of 225 books).


  • If you order 100 copies of a 6”x9” perfect-bound book (180 black-and-white pages each), your effective per-book price is just $4.74 when you take the 25 additional free books into account. That includes a FREE, full-color paperback cover, too.

Choosing where to print your book

  • You have a choice in where you print your book. Book printing services should offer you customizable printing options, speedy printing and delivery, and helpful customer support.


  • Affordable book printing will help you retain your profits when you sell your book, and you should be able to retain full control over your book and copyright when you submit your files for printing.

Case Binding

You may know case bound books as hardcover books. In a case bound book, a hard durable cover (usually made from stiff cardboard) wraps the book, protecting the pages and the spine. This cover is usually wrapped in a special type of book cloth, for a classy (and classic) look. Case binding is an excellent choice for fiction as well as non-fiction books, as it is an exceptionally protective binding style suitable for a long shelf life. At 48 Hour Books, you can choose from a gloss or silk (matte) laminate finish for your case bound book. Specialty options, such as cloth and leather covers, are also available.

Spiral Binding

 Just like the name indicates, spiral binding uses a spiral, or coil, that threads through perforations in the pages to bind the book together. It’s similar to a spiral-bound notebook, such as the ones you used in school. Spiral binding is a great choice for workbooks, cookbooks, activity books, coloring books, and any kind of book where it’s helpful to have the book lay flat.
