Book typesetting for print

    Book typesetting and print preparation

    From an edited manuscript to a file your printer accepts without questions. We typeset the book block — typography, margins, running heads, notes, index and everything a reader never notices when it is done well.

    Readable typesetting

    Typeface, size and leading are chosen for the length and purpose of the book — so it reads easily across three hundred pages.

    Ready for the printer

    A PDF with correct bleed, trim and colour profile. No rejections or extra charges for bad preparation.

    Notes, index and contents

    Footnotes, endnotes, a subject index and a table of contents that updates itself when the text moves.

    Clear price per page

    €1.50 – €1.80 per page of edited text for books over 200 pages. Shorter books priced by agreement.
