There are a few key steps that all self publishers must follow when preparing new material for the marketplace. One of these key steps is acquiring an ISBN number. An ISBN number is a unique identifier to your book. Online stores such as Borders, Barnes & Noble and Amazon will need this number to catalog and inventory your book. You may also want to consider purchasing your barcode at the same time as your ISBN number. Whether you plan to sell your book on an online store or in a brick-and-mortar storefront, you’ll need an ISBN number to move forward.

In the United States, there is a single agency in control of issuing all ISBN numbers. You can find out more about them here. Once you have your ISBN and barcode, all you have to do is submit it to us along with your artwork, and you’ll be one step closer to publication!

Front matter is the term used for the information and pages that proceed the body text of a book. This material begins as the first printed page and ends before chapter one. There is far more detailed information about front matter available and should be searched out when creating your book layout. Below are listed the more common elements that we see in the books that we produce. They are listed in the order in which they should appear in the layout and unless noted otherwise, all elements begin on a right side page.

If you are reading this on the BestBookPrinting.com, then you are seeing an example of a blog in action. A blog (web log) is nothing more than a growing repository of ideas, thoughts and information as presented in a website. Most blogs share a general format organized by topic and chronology. Subject matter is unlimited and many use blogs as a means to share their life and their thoughts with friends, family and the world.

There are bloggers that have found a fair amount of popularity with their work and many would hope to turn this popularity into some form of income. Some sell advertising on their sites and others sell subscriptions. Then there are the enterprising souls that have turned their blog into a printed, self published book. Enter the Blook.

Until recently, the only way to create a book from the contents of your blog was to painstakingly copy the text and place it into page layout software that would allow you to format the contents and add the necessary titles, page numbers, chapter starts, table of contents and so on. Currently there is no commercial application that will automatically transform your blog site into a workable, commercially printed format. Yet.

However, for those of us with some amount of web skills, it is possible to create a website using HTML and CSS in such a way that book layout can be automated with the end result being print ready PDFs. The process is demonstrated in this article.

As it always happens with technology, if there is a clamor for something new, it won’t be long before someone comes up with a good solution – or twenty. So for those of you with the web skills to use the home grown approach shown with CSS: Boom!, go for it. For the rest of us, let’s make some noise so that someone will come up with a great way to transform your blog into a book.

Our site is built around our instant book quote application that was designed to deliver a price estimate on what we have found to be the most commonly used options. Our primary goal was to make the quote form as easy to use as possible. In doing so it was necessary to reduce the number of available options in most categories, but only for the instant online quote.

Beyond bestbookprinting.com, Colorwise Printing is a full service commercial printer that is able to provide a custom quote and accommodate your unique production requirements.

If your book’s specification fall outside of the options that you find online, we encourage you to still use the site for ballpark estimating. Once you have a good idea of your requirements, don’t hesitate to contact us directly to request your custom quote.
