Printing and Binding

The Author's Friend offers competitive prices for printing and binding that are ideal for short print-runs.

This gives the best value and return to the author because it keeps costs associated with production and stock storage to the absolute minimum.

We can produce books of any size up to A4 format.

We can print on all paper types including bond and wove.

We offer a range of binding options including:

• Perfect bound - aka paperback

• Case bound - aka hardback

• Saddle stitch

• Combe bound

• Wiro bound

• Canadian bind

• Loose Leaf

For that special touch we offer cover lamination services in matt or gloss; spot or machine varnish; foil emboss for case bound or hardbacks and we can provide a dust jacket to finish.

The Table below illustrates the cost involved in producing a typical 200 page paperback including colour cover:
