Читать книгу The Joy of Self-Publishing - Mike MD Buchanan - Страница 8

One of the ways in which you can make your books distinctive is to explore the specification options including:

-format (hardback, paperback, coil bound...)

-cover finish (matt, gloss, foil blocking, raised sections...)

-paper specification and ‘feel’

-page sizes

-colour graphics, photographs

-place-marking ribbons

A reputable printer will take you through the options, which will be more numerous than if you publish through the print-on-demand (POD) route. But POD may still have its place: my own books would currently not be available to order outside the UK without the POD model.

So self-publish and retain full specification control.
