    Cover Design: Standard

    • If you are not intending to supply your own print-ready cover, you could choose one of our standard designs or just a plain colour and have your book title and name added to the front and your summary added to the back.
    • The cost is £35 which includes, if necessary, the creation of a barcode for your book’s ISBN number.
    • Our standard covers are shown below, simply choose the 'title' of the cover you wish to use, and we will personalise it to your needs.

    Cover Design: Bespoke

    • Alternatively, we could create a bespoke design which would be unique for your book, using your own picture(s) or anything from our library of well over a million images that we can use or incorporate into the design.
    • The cost starts at £99, depending on the complexity of the design and includes, if necessary, the creation of a barcode for your book’s ISBN number. For example purposes only, here are some covers that we recently designed for customers:

    The Good Trader 5: Chris DunnStories from a Country Practice: Dr Neville SilverstonThe Song of SilenceZimbabwe: The Hitchhikers Guide to a Failed State: Max Chiseo

    Supplying your own cover design

    • If you are supplying your own cover, it should be in .pdf format and CMYK colour rather than RGB.
    • The design needs to include the back, spine and front as one single item and should have a minimum of 3mm ‘bleed’ – a continuation of the background colour or design which is lost in the final trimming of the book – around the outside.
    • The spine width can be calculated using the Printondemand-worldwide spine calculator.
    • We can convert your ISBN number into a bar code and add it to your design for £25. You should leave a space of 52mm x 34mm towards the bottom left corner of the back cover for it
    • Alternatively, we can design a bespoke cover for as little as £99.
