I\'ve found good information about planning considerations at websites of Big D Bindery, Eckhart & Co., and Specialties Graphic Finishers. Should I approach a bindery and ask them what printers they work with? Will the working relationship be between bindery and printer or bindery and publisher?   You can get pricing on spiral bound books at <a href=\"http://www.selfpublishing.com/\" rel="nofollow">www.selfpublishing.com</a>.  You should not be thinking of hiring a priinter and a seperate binder.  It can all be done under one roof Thanks Ron P  I have a short humorous book in mind that will lend itself to a spiral-bound table-tent easel.

I am a first time Author/Publisher. Since day one of my experience with Rj communications, and its staff, I have been extremely satisfied! Everyone offered explicit and in depth concern for me as a first time writer. Their commitment to my project and the level of professional attitude towards me as an individual, was untouched. They not only provided me with clear, in depth direction, but also sought to know exactly what it was that Me, the author, was trying to convey . They provided "personal contact" which was most important to me when choosing who I wanted to print my first novel. They truly modeled the phrase---"Team Work!" I highly recommend Rj com to everyone!

Hopefully I will sell all the books I have got printed here in the UK. And would like to find a print firm in China to reproduce the book so I can keep up with the big boys. Can you help?

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 03:32:26 +0000 http://blog.selfpublishing.com/?p=171#comment-4371 Ron, I was just offered a deal from Wiley. They are only paying a 7.5% royalty. Can Thor get me on the shelves in Borders, Books-a-Million, etc so I could make 25-30%? I can do my own design, editing and artwork but need help getting in the stores. What should I do? Go with Wiley or could Thor better serve me? TAKE THE DEAL - Good Luck Ron Ron,
