The desktop computer has revolutionised book publishing. Now anyone can get into print. Yet so many self-published books look amateurish, which is off-putting to the book trade and can drastically reduce potential sales. And yet it’s so easy for us to give your book the big publisher look. We’ll:
• create dynamic, attractive page spreads and an eye-catching cover
• scan your photos and drawings, clean them and optimise them so that they print at their brightest and best
• prepare the artwork for the printer – we’ll recommend one if you wish. We’ve created, edited and designed several series of illustrated books and poetry anthologies for Ottakar’s bookshops, WH Smith, Past Times and Reader’s Digest. Let us help you bring your book the success it deserves. Telephone us on 01237 478170.
Sacketts – award-winning book design
We designed and put together ‘Off the Wall Walking’ by Devon author Laurence Shelley. Illustrated with engravings by the Chairman of the Society of Wood Engravers Hilary Paynter, it won the Local Interest category of the prestigious Self-Publishing Awards in 2008.
