Book Printing For Beginners
Printing your book might sound very easy, especially for beginners.
Most people just think that after completing your manuscript all you need to do next is drop it off at the printers and voila! You are done - if only it was that simple.
Most beginners make this common mistake * The urge to use very large a size and filling up about every available space with type matter - they think the more crowded the book page is, the more serious the book is going to look.
You may think it is saving you money on your book printing, but in reality what you save on paper you lose in the visual appeal and readability ease for your readers.
As times goes on, you will understand and appreciate the value of "white paper", you will discover the magic behind using smaller font and suitable margins.
As a beginner, you need to understand that printing a book is not just something you can wake up and say "I think I am going to print my book today".
After all the hard sweat and tears in putting your manuscript together, the last thing you want is for your book to look amateur, and easily discarded off the shelves.
You need to learn the right way to select and arrange types in a way that will certainly produce very well balanced and properly accented creative results.
Alas, this requires certain skills that simply cannot be achieved in just a couple of weeks or even months.
However, you can use the following helpful tips: * Carefully study materials of other best selling books, check out the type of printing designs they used * Collect samples of print work from printing houses in your locality and go for the one that best suites your printing needs.
* Learn the use of rules, borders and ornaments.
You must understand that in book printing, there are certain rules that will help you achieve the best possible results.
* Ask questions, you can seek the advice of printing experts - trust me, it is not going to cost you an arm or leg.
* Look for book publishing services that are experienced, they too can offer helpful printing advice.
There are also plenty of good copy and paste in templates from the web, and if you are really not yet there after all the hard hours of research, perhaps it is a wise idea to get professional editorial help in the layout.
After all, everything counts in the working of your master piece.
