Description
Absolutely not! We are book packagers and print brokers. We provide typesetting, design, consultation on marketing and promotion, and editorial services to authors, publishers and self-publishers around the country. One of our specialties is helping folks launch their own publishing company.
"My sincere thanks for the great job you did. The final product has surpassed my expectations and any time your company needs a recommendation or reference, please do not hesitate to give my name.
No. Cypress House is a print broker. We work with major book manufacturers in the US and around the world to provide you with quality printing and binding at competitive prices. We fine-tune your specifications, comparing turn-around time, print options (such as text stocks, spot varnish or foil stamping or die-cutting), geographical location (to save on freight costs), and price. We then review all materials going to the printer, prepare a detailed work order, review the cover and text proofs, and track your books from the printer to their destination.
These are some basic features of camera-ready copy. You can't do them all with a word processing program like Word or WordPerfect, or even with most low-end publishing programs. On the other hand, if you're experienced in Quark, PageMaker, Frame or Ventura, you may have prepared excellent camera-ready copy, and we'll be pleased to continue the process. Of course, we'll have to see your book before agreeing to handle promotion or distribution. We won't compromise our reputation or our clients' books by representing titles about which we're less than enthusiastic.
In Persist and Publish by R. E. Matkin and T. F. Rigger, University Press of Colorado: "Vanity and subsidy presses charge top dollar for their services. A few years ago, we ran a comparison which showed that, for a 285 page book, softcover, 2,000 copies, a subsidy press would charge $12,000. Working with a book manufacturer, the identical book bids came in at less than $8,000.
