Pricing explained

You put so much into this book, and you deserve to know exactly what it costs to print. Here is how we price it, what is included, and how long it takes.

One price, shipping included

Your quote is a single delivered price. It includes printing, binding, finishing and shipping to the address you give us, plus the cost per book so you can compare easily. We do not show shipping as a separate line, because the price that matters is the one that arrives at your door. No surprise shipping costs at the end.

Why it costs less

Larger runs print on big offset presses, which do beautiful work at a lower cost per book. We check every file, handle every print detail, and ship your books to you. The trade off is time, not quality.

How long it takes

  • Standard printing orders typically arrive 45 to 60 days after you pay.
  • Short runs (under 100 copies) usually arrive in 7 to 14 days.
  • Rush is available on select books for a fee. How rush works

Delivery dates are estimates. If anything changes, we tell you what we know and when you will hear from us next. You will never be left wondering.

Why we quote by hand

Every book is different. Printing prices depend on page count, paper, finish, quantity and where the books are going. Rather than guess, a real person prices your exact book, usually within 2 to 3 business days. Quotes are good for 10 days. As we learn which books are most popular, we will add instant prices for them.

What else might be on your quote

  • Design help you asked for, such as formatting or a cover
  • A printed proof, if you chose one
  • A rush fee, for rush orders
  • A credit for your sample pack, taken off your first order

Full payment is due when you approve your quote. There are no other fees.
