Help DeskWhat format are the books?Our books are perfect bound paperbacks (like 90% of the paperbacks produced today), scanned and printed by digital copiers. This method allows us to produce an attractive book quickly and at a reasonable price. Is there a minimum order?For an initial project we require a minimum order of twenty copies. On occasion, we do lower our minimum if the likelihood of reordering is high or if the book has other sales possibilities. Check with us. What do you have to do?Almost nothing. Simply call us as you would any textbook company. We secure the rights and permissions and print the books. On occasion we need help acquiring a clean original. How much time does it take?Most of the time we can have a project in your hands within three to four weeks. Generally speaking, it will take two weeks to secure permission, one week to produce the books, and one week to ship. Occasionally it takes longer to secure permission. In rush situations we can often turn a project in a week's time, though additional charges may apply. Are books returnable?Yes, but only if they carry our ISBN (1-57910-..., 1-59244-...). Most Custom Reprint orders are nonreturnable due to the fact that we are printing these books with permission for a one-time use. Because of this, we work closely with Textbook Managers to print based upon actual course enrollment. Once a title has been reprinted, the minimum order is only five copies. And, turnaround time is much quicker when reordering a Custom Reprint title. How can I determine if a book is in print?
