Self-publishing has never been easier, and when we make your book perfect bound, you look perfect too. We also can coil bind your book with your choice of a variety of coil colors. Your coil options are standard plastic coil (also known as continuous coil), or metal wire-"O" binding. The advantage to these coil bindings is that they lay flat and are great for cookbooks, workbooks, and music books. And the best part, we can do many of the binding methods with print runs as few as one! Yes, get a sample book printed and bound from your print-ready PDF file! Need help getting your Microsoft Word doc converted into a print ready PDF file? We can help you do that too!

Five Book Cover Design Tips
Hire an Experienced Designer (Like ours!) - a professional book cover designer like the ones at AlphaGraphics Camelback understands the nuances of colors, fonts and images and has the right tools and resources to implement your vision. We listen to you, and your cover will be unique and professional!
Avoid Clutter - Many visual elements are competing for the viewer’s attention. So avoid too many colors, images and fonts. Again, let one of our graphic designers make your vision come to life.
Consider the Cover Thumbnail Size - If your book is going to be sold online, the cover photo will appear in a thumbnail size. This is another reason to choose a simple design that is still impressive when reduced in size.
Emphasize a Single Element - Pick one important element of your book to illustrate on the cover so the buyer can instantly know something about the contents.
Get Feedback - Consider taking your proposed cover designs to associates or followers on your special media page for their opinion.
