Design Inspiration -
///////////////////////////////
Has your genealogy grown? If you are publishing the work, many times it is necessary to consider more than one book to accommodate your research. While many like to match the outsides of each book, another idea is to complement. Rather than trying to match the color/texture of a cover that may have been produced a few years ago, select a different color or texture that is complementary.
///////////////////////////////
Book Manufacturing Concepts -
///////////////////////////////
Always find out what you get for the "hardbinding". We have recently upgraded our "standard buckram" to standard that includes many of deluxe options.

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Keeping in mind shipping costs while setting a book's price, many choose to send their mailings USPS Media Mail. As with any class of mail, this one has some rules you may not be aware of. One of which is that no billing invoice or advertisement may be placed in the box. As always when sending through the post office, packing slip/inventory with arrival address is still encouraged.

Genealogy ideas/Computer aid?!?
///////////////////////////////
Can't see yourself subscribing to a lot of online pay services such as Ancestry? Check you local libraries and genealogical collections that are "online". Many strong collections already subscribe to some extent for their patrons.

stumped, but either way you'll get a personal reply.
