Book Printers
Book printing is a specialty area that needs to be handled by companies that specialize in it. Depending one's goals and budget, books can be printed on a traditional offset press for large quantities, or digital on-demand printing for short runs. The following companies provide information about both approaches. I am happy to speak with anyone who needs help deciding what is best for them.

Self Publishing and Marketing Resources
These companies specialize in helping authors publish their own books. Printing and even marketing and distribution assistance are provided as well. Most resources have publishing packages for your convenience. If one of these vendors are chosen to fulfill the printing and distribution, it must be BEFORE the book design begins! Most of these companies have specific file preparation rules and a limited set of standard book sizes to choose from, so I will need to set up the files appropriately in the beginning.
