A practical guide for authors, publishers, and others involved in bringing a book from idea to printing.

It covers the essential building blocks of book production, from preparing a clear manuscript to final publishing decisions. You’ll find practical, field-proven advice drawn from hands-on experience in a major printing house, plus concrete examples you can compare to your own project.

This edition expands the discussion with more on typography, the index, methods of illustration, papers, book sizes, binding, and copyright. It also includes glossaries, example type specimens, and sample papers to help you choose the right materials for your project.
