Lynne: Check out Amazon’s CreateSpace. They have free cover design and text processes but they’re both crap, pardon my French! You design the whole book — cover and text — in your usual apps and upload PDFs. They will add the ISBN numbers which is otherwise a bit of a pain. BTW, it’s best to create the CS account with your client sitting next to you as they require a lot of the author’s personal info including SS#.

A few years ago her first book sold out a run of 800 copies printed “traditionally” but she can’t afford to do that kind of printing this time around. (And I’m not charging her for any of my work.) I haven’t done much print on demand work and what I have done was several years ago so if any of you have any favorite sources to recommend (or ones to avoid) it would save me a lot of research time. I would be very grateful for any advice you are willing to share. > > Thank you! > Lynne > > > Lynne Rudie, Graphic Design > 413/863-9406 > 413/834-0889 (c) > lynnerudie at verizon.net > > _______________________________________________ > Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net > Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net > > You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. > If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members > page on the Hidden Tech Web site. > http://www.hidden-tech.net/members -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
