     Over the years, we have typeset books in several languages (English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Greek and Hebrew) and do all other work required to publish attractive 4-color or black & white books. Clients retain complete direction and control at any production stage.

     Since we deal with numerous printers in Asia, our print and other production costs are competitive and make your title economically viable. We partner with printers that use modern print technologies like Computer-to-Plate.

     Contract publishing entails that authors/clients assume all financial investments. However, unlike getting a small royalty ranging anywhere from 4 - 12.5%, authors receive the main proceeds from their books' sales - thus their return of investment.

Your investment:

     Whether it is your first book or you just would like to compare rates, careful planning will pay off - costly and embarrassing mistakes must be avoided. Book publishing is a complex process.
