Design Inspiration
///////////////////////////////
Digital color is now more economical than ever. If choosing to produce an entire book in color, the cost will run less than a quarter a page, per book. Visit our new color price lists for examples.

Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
When deciding to produce a full color book, or add a few color pages, remember that placement counts - a color section results in less insertion costs than the same number of pages sprinkled through out a book.

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Especially if speaking at an event that you are not otherwise compensated for, don't forget to ask those in attendance to, not only spread the word about your book, but also if they can think of any other groups who might enjoy you as a speaker. Don't be shy about taking contact information and following up the leads.

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////
Be prepared during large software updates for any computer to "run" slower than normal. If you are on a limited or "fair share" internet connection, it may be a good idea to let the update run without placing any other usage demands on it until download is complete. Above all - try not to be frustrated.
