To make production of books easier for you, we have collected answers to the most popular questions, as well as various professional recommendations:

• usually, production of a book takes several months, because you have to schedule the delivery of paper and cover material and take a queue for printing
• before publishing the book, calculate the budget that you can allocate for this purpose
• think about what the purpose and content of the book will be, and how you plan to sell this book, what channels you will use – bookstores, shops, internet, social media etc.

Also consider the desired technical nuances:

• planned book size, vertical or horizontal and type of binding (hard or soft)
• inner pages black or colored. If the book is going to be black and white with some color pictures, we recommend placing them one after the other
• cover material and type. Will the covers be printed or made of arfitical/real leather
• whether you want to print front and back pages or leave them white. Maybe you want to use some colored design paper
• do you want a bookmark (or maybe two), an extra pocket or some other element
