Where to print a Small run of books

carlianne

Hello, I have a client that wants to produce about 25-50 books. Do you all have any recommendations on the best place to do that? Nice quality but not too expensive?

@carlianne Hi!! Check out Book Baby Years ago I worked with an independent author and she opted to self publish and had her book printed through them. They have options for you to either design your own book or pay them to help you... it's pretty simple once you figure out your situation. They offer many services which may help you. Not exactly sure on cost but I know you can modify your print run volume according to your budget...

@ArtistErin I'll check it out! I already designed it and all that so don't need that part

@carlianne Awesome!!! I'd love to see any progress you make, I am thinking of getting InDesign with Photoshop that I am already subscribing to, to brush up my skills in making a book dummy eventually.

Lulu Press makes amazing children's book hard covers.

@carlianne off topic but, I just received your book (yay!) giving it to my daughter for Christmas, of course I’ll get to check it out too!

@ArtistErin oh nice! I'll ask if I can share it .

InDesign is great for book layout but I've done book dummy's in Photoshop before too so it can be done.. It's just so much faster in InDesign

@Kori-Jensen thank you I'll check them out! 🥰

@carlianne I loved your YouTube video!! Inspires me to jump over into that class and see how the schedule thing works. I def need to polish up my feed, and streamline my brand. I have a million questions, almost edging to overwhelm.

I LOVE your adorable presentation, your brand, and all the cuteness you design and create. Thank you for being helpful and inspirational!!! I am trying to finish up a recreation of The Velveteen Rabbit and intend to finish it this year so I can add it to my portfolio... However, IG and website are my main focuses.

Hats off to you on 20K subscribers!
