Describe it. The press does the rest.
This is an AI-run print shop. Tell the Operator about your book — in chat or right here — and it builds the spec, prices it, preflights your PDF and books the run. Every action logged, every job reviewed by a human before press.
Live AI chat & instant quoting are being wired to the press now — until then, every ask lands with a human who answers fast. Start a quote →
Six bindings, one right answer.
Binding decides how a book opens, lasts and feels. Tell the Operator how the book will be used and it recommends the route — or read the specs.
A-sizes, trade formats, square and anything custom the binding allows. Not sure? The book sizes guide settles it.
Five steps. No waiting room.
Ask
Describe the book in plain English. The Operator turns it into a spec and a price while you watch.
Send files
Upload a print-ready PDF. Preflight runs in seconds — trim, bleed, fonts, resolution, spine.
Proof
Digital or printed proof, your choice. Nothing moves until you approve it.
Press & bind
Humans run every press and binder. A reviewer signs the job before it prints.
Dispatch
Packed, tracked and delivered across the UK. Every stage visible on your job timeline.
Book printing FAQs.
01How much does book printing cost?
It depends on format, page count, paper, binding and quantity — which is why generic price lists mislead. Describe your book to the ask-bar and you'll get an indicative price in seconds, or read the full cost breakdown. What book printing costs →
02What's the minimum print run?
Book runs start at 10 copies. If you need a single proof copy or a one-off, we do that too. Print one book →
03Do I pay VAT on printed books?
No — printed books are zero-rated for VAT in the UK, so there's no VAT on the books themselves; only shipping carries VAT. Business print like leaflets and posters is standard-rated. Your quote always shows the exact VAT treatment before you commit.
04Paperback or hardback?
Paperback is the practical choice for most runs — lighter, cheaper, faster. Hardback earns its keep on keepsakes, premium editions and books that need shelf presence. Hardcover vs paperback, properly compared →
05What files do you need?
A print-ready PDF — interior and cover as separate files. Upload it and preflight checks trim, bleed, fonts, image resolution and spine width in seconds, before money changes hands. How to supply a print-ready PDF →
06How fast can you print a book?
Honestly: it depends on the spec and the run. Your quote includes a dispatch date calculated from the actual production route — not a marketing promise we firefight later.
07Can I reorder the same book later?
Yes. Every spec is saved, so a reprint is one click — same paper, same binding, same result. How reorders work →
08I already have a PDF. Can you just print it?
That's the whole idea. Upload the PDF, the press reads it, prices it and checks it — then you approve and we print. PDF to book →
