Printers for books....Aargh!
May 14th 2008 10:01
Having only a few short hours a week to get quotes for printing my new book, I hoped for quick response. Both the local printers I contacted via email and then phone, did not get back to me, but on phoning again I got one ridiculous quote ($1600 for 100 A5 copies), with the addition of "we dont perfect bind.. but if you take a trip across the bridge they will do it for $330" I know what bridge you can go down mate..
I think the online printers e.g. Kainosprint, who do it all, will be of help since they have a computer quotation service where you put in all your features (celloglazed, b&w, colour cover, gsm weight, etc) and it tells you what cost you will be paying, including delivery to your door and an idea of how long it will take. I think Minuteman Press is similar.
This to me is what Self-publishers desperately need and I will let you those interested know the end result.
Is anyone out there familiar with any good Writers Groups, perhaps an online one? (I am pretty far from Brisbane)
