How
long does it take to
produce my book? |
Printing/binding
will take from 5 to
10 business days after you
approve the final print
proofs created from your
Word file. |
What
does PUP need to produce
my book? |
PUP
needs two files: i) A
Word (rtf) file of your manuscript,
and (ii) one or more files
of the components of the
cover. With these files
PUP will do the layout
of the book itself and
of the cover*. You will
proofread
and approve (or modify)
these printouts before
the production
can begin. |
What
is the minimum print
run for my book? |
Theoretically
there is no minimum.
You can order one or
two copies,
but the unit price
will be
(relatively) exhorbitant.
In practical terms
the minimum
is 50 copies. If you
need 73 copies, for example,
this too can be costed
out and you decide
in the light of the figure
for 73 in the cost estimate. |
Does
PUP accept books which
are co-authored? |
Certainly.
This formula often proves
very advantageous for both
the authors and the end-users
(students, etc.). PUP does
require that one of the
authors be specifically designated as the approving authority for the final OK
for publishing. |
How
do I estimate the number
of pages in my book? |
To
determine the page count,
simply send us the first
chapter, or first 10 pages
of your manuscript for
an
initial
layout. From that we can
do a tentative layout and
extrapolate from it to
come up with a fairly accurate
figure for the total page
count. That figure is used
to prepare the cost estimate. |
