influence the overall appearance of the book. Here we have come up with tips
that one must consider while preparing for printing:
·
First point that should be kept in mind is the
size of the book. This is the first main step a publisher should keep in mind
is that there are different sizes of books that are available for different
purposes. The size of the book should be chosen that enhance the overall look
of the booklet.

printing methods and those are web press, lithography and digital
printing. Web press is used for large format printing and for the range of
greater numbers. Lithography is generally used for the books that range for
500-10,000 runs. Digital one is used for 1 to 500 books. Also, the unit cost
for this is more than lithography.

books at the time of order. This is the method that saves time, money and
paper.

formatting you get to know about the spaces, fonts, margins, if they are
organized properly and can be corrected. But for this, make sure that your
printer has correct formatting to your book.

appropriate binding according to your preference. There are different binding
options from where you can select like spiral, saddle stitched, pamphlet, comb
