With eBooks, your insert possibilities are vast!
Contact us to discuss your needs and book vision!
Standard jewel case packaging will include a "front cover" with two sides printed. However, that standard insert could include 4 or 8 pages - even in slim line cases easily. Regular single disc jewel cases can include even thicker booklets.

Some things you may consider when seeking permission to reprint:
Permission should be obtained in writing � perhaps even notarized of with a second family/estate signature. This can be difficult with people accustomed to corresponding by phone and email only, but sometimes sending a follow up sheet with SASE for "sign and return' helps. Remember, protect those who reprint and their decedents from whoever the Copyright holder may become, before it expires.
If the Copyright holder insists on having a document produced by a legal professional, know who will be paying for that service. If those seeking permission pay, that needs to be added to the total expense for reprint � thus all buyers share in the expense. Traditionally though, if you feel you need a costly service, you should pay for it. That said, never discourage legal work as this is a legal situation that impacts those beyond the currently living � better safe than sorry.

Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Online USPS priority clients for thin softbound books should consider using USPS flat rate bubble padded envelopes. This saves you further on packaging. This option is only available to online customers at this time.

Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
As a reader or researcher how many times have you heard, "The book has been written on that", only to find there is no access to it? Undertaking an authorized reprint is a way to benefit many, including the original author(s). Today, that book that has already been written, may have only had a handful of books published and none of them in public collections. For volunteer groups, this is also a way to begin working with publications that may not be as difficult or time consuming as producing original work.
