Title: Best custom book printer
Post by: Brad Johnson on November 09, 2020, 05:51:54 PM

I know some of you reprobates fancy yourselves authors and I need to pick your brains. Dad has written a story about my Grandfather's history. I'd like to get it printed as gifts for him and my siblings. Something really nice... case bound, leather cover or quality hardback, and with photos. Any thoughts on the best place to go for custom book printing services?

I'm no author, but I am close to owners of two different companies that do print and bindery. 

If you give me the info (book count, page count, size, paper preference, binding preference, color makeup, etc.) I can get some ballpark numbers.  Are you going to do all the layout and design or are you wanting help with that as well?

I haven't even begun the editing process yet, plus I want to get Dad to get photos I can include. I won't even try to guess until I get all the components and can do a rough layout.
