We generally need a PDF document for printing or online ebook sales in case the original formatting may be altered by accident. If you already have a PDF document, make sure this is your final version and that you will not wish to have further changes before printing and publishing. If you ask us to do the editing and formatting, we will have your final version converted into PDF format for you.
You can choose to print your book into a CD, in the form of a PDF ebook or in the traditional forms of a hard cover book or paperback book. As you may understand, traditional printing requires more time and cost.
hardcover books:
casewrap hardcovers and hardcovers with dust jackets. Casewrap hardcovers look like standard hardcover textbooks. They have full–colour, glossy covers and do not come with a dust jacket. We offer casewrap hardcovers in 6" x 9" with black < white interior printing and in 8.25" x 10.75" with either black < white or colour interior printing.
Dust jacket hardcovers are offered in 6" x 9" with black < white interiors. The book inside the dust jacket is bound in navy blue B grade linen. The spine of the book will be stamped with the book's title and/or author name in gold foil (maximum of 42 characters including spaces).
Austral Books have printers overseas who offer low-cost quality printing services. The more copies you print, the cheaper for each copy. Please download our self–publishing order form, complete it and send it to us for processing so that we can give you an accurate quote.
