We can touch up on damages and modify unattractive picture elements with the help of computer softwares. You can find more details about picture correction here.

By request we are able to create sketches and graphs to illustrate your verbal explanation contained in your text. Our illustrators, graphic artists, painters and photographers can create art graphics, sketches, paintings or photographs for book cover designs or as book illustrations.

• Graphic design

Based on the description of the desired style and look of your book we design the pages and covers whether the typography is antique looking or contemporary or anything in-between. Before we edit all pages of the book we send you a few sample pages in digital format though e-mail for your review and comments. If you accept the design direction of the sample pages we go ahead and edit the entire book accordingly. If you hire us for the manufacturing of your book, we will create the cover design using the submitted pictures free of charge.

• Page editing, layout-design

After you approve the style of the sample pages we edit the layout of all pages using the documents and pictures you send us. After the editing is completed we e-mail you the whole book so that you can review it and request further changes and corrections. After all requested corrections and changes are made we start the manufacturing of the book.

• Printing

For printing we will use high quality paper of your choice; glossy or matte, heavy- or lightweight, smooth or textured, etc. For both black-and-white and color prints we use the most up-to-date digital printing technology.

• Binding

We offer hand-bound, spine-stitched hardcover bindings that will stand the test of times as opposed to cheap adhesive bound paperbacks. This traditional method is more beautiful, elegant and durable than quick, adhesive-based binding methods. The book cover can be finished with printed and laminated paper or any of the cover materials of your choice. We offer wide selection of colors for canvas, imported French plush and genuine leather under the "Samples" menu.
