In today's world, with the advancement of
computers and printers, one of the major benefits is that you can produce your
own book, whether it is a family history, poetry book, or a school yearbook.
Denver Bookbinding Company can provide the hard
cover binding from the printed and collated pages that you provide. We can use
all types of materials for the covers from canvas-based bookbinding cloth to
printed laminated covers.
Pricing is based upon quantity. Pricing starts at
one book up to 1,000 books. Pricing for over 50 books is done on an individual
basis and is contingent upon what you want as an end product.
Short run checklist
Page Set Up
Margins: The minimums are 1/2 inch in inner margin and 1/4 inch on
top/bottom/front. The bindery makes a final trim of 1/8 inch ont he top,
bottom and front edges.
Recommended page margins are 1 1/4 inch in inner margin and 1 1/8
inch top/bottom/front.
Paper
Do you want acid-free paper?
Is the grain of the page running parallel to the bind edge?
If the grain is running side to side (short grain) books must be sewn (upcharged
service).
If the grain is running top to bottom (long grain) gluing may be an
option (saves money).
If you print double-sided, 60 pound weight paper is a recommended
weight. If it is lighter, the ink will show through from the other side.
Endpapers must be 80 or 100 pound cougar opaque.
Have you communicated well with your book printer and book binder?
