Book1One does not proof, edit, or alter your content in any way. It is your responsibility to review your book before you send the file. We recommend you print a hard copy of your book on your own local printer for final review and check the following:
- Typos, grammar and any other text errors
- Low-resolution images that appear blurry in print
- Design issues, format, organization, style, color and page layout
- Make sure the proper font is embedded in the file
We do not accept returns or process refunds for any reason, except to the extent we guarantee your satisfaction with the workmanship of our books, as described above.
Book1One is not only a state of the art company, utilizing the most up-to-date technology, but is backed by over 100 years of book manufacturing experience.
Book1One works exclusively with PDF files. Creating a PDF is very easy and can be done 2 different ways:
- Using your own PDF converter either online or as a print driver on your own computer you can convert your document to PDF. When converting to PDF please maintain the "Highest Resolution" and make sure the fonts are embedded.
- Book1One's on-line ordering system allows you to upload many different file formats. This system will convert your file to a print ready PDF. Please be sure to completely review your file on the "approve page" as this is the file that will print.
We have a selection of extra opaque uncoated paper or gloss/matte coated papers depending on the quality necessary for each job. Our uncoated paper is available in a basis weight of 60# and our coated papers are available with a basis weight of 80# or 100#.
Uncoated paper does not have any kind of coating. It has no sheen to it and can be written on easily. Coated paper can be either gloss or matte. Coated paper generally produces sharper, brighter images and has better reflectivity than uncoated paper.
Basis weight is the weight in pounds of 500 sheets (one ream) of a standard basic size. For example, the standard basic size for text papers is 25x38". A ream of basis 70 text sheets in that size weighs 70 lbs. The basic size for cover papers is 20x26". Weighing 500 sheets of any grade of paper in its proper basic size will determine its basis weight. In other words, 500 sheets of 17x22" 24-pound Bond will weigh 24 pounds. The heavier the basis weight, the heavier the paper.

Not a problem! We are more than happy to bind books that either you print or have printed elsewhere. However, it is very cost effective to have Book1One print your books as well as bind them. This may be preferable for those not familiar with the industry or those who do not want to pay the cost of shipping.
Yes! Our normal turn-around times of 5 working days on soft cover books and 10 working days on hard cover books assures a careful, precise production process for your books. If you require a faster turnaround, please let us know before production is scheduled to begin, and we will do our best to meet your needs. Rush requirements may be subject to a surcharge.

Book1One only handles the actual printing and binding of your book. In order to have your material copyrighted, please go to the U.S. Copyright Office website for more information.
Because the process is slightly different with each binding style, your pages may have some formatting requirements in order for your book to turn out the way you want. Just click on Binding Styles here or the tab at the top of this page and select your binding style to see what you need to do.
We will print and bind books in any size listed on this web site. However, if you would like to create a book other than a size listed please contact us to make sure it can be manufactured.
Certainly! We can stamp whatever you want on the cover and spine. If you would like a logo or any other stamped design on the cover or if you would like them personalized, we can perform that service for an additional charge. Just let us know how you want your books decorated when you place your order.
Perfect binding is the trade name for binding of paperback books or soft cover books using adhesive placed at the spine.
We can do perfect binding for quantities from 1 to 1000. The quality is fantastic - and our equipment is capable of performing inline scoring and edge gluing with computer enhanced set-up.

Printed covers for both hard and soft cover books are film laminated with gloss film. The gloss film not only adds a great deal of protection, it also creates a beautiful gloss finish.
If you do not want a gloss finish on you book, we do offer a matte finish film at an additional charge. Please contact us for additional information.
We normally ship FedEx, but are willing to use other carriers when requested.
We stick to what we do best - book printing and book binding. Producing high quality hard cover, soft cover and plastic coil books is our specialty. And with that comes real value for our customers.
An endleaf is what actually holds the book to the cover on a hard cover book. It is an uncoated sheet of paper that is fully pasted to the inside of the front and back cover and is glued to the binding edge of the first and last page of the text.
