Self Publishing Books
These days, it's becoming an affordable option for many businesses or authors that simply wasn't available in years past – that is, publishing your own book. Going back only ten or twenty years ago, the idea that one could get their own book published without having to have an agent, representation, or a publishing house to bring it to market seemed almost impossible.
A history of high standards and quick production turnaround in the printing industry.
If you're considering having your own book printed, there are two different ways available to you now. The first is to have the book printed in what is called a “digital" format – that is, the book is published without ever being printed on paper. One commonly used platform for this choice is take the book to Amazon and have them add it to their Kindle library. However, you do not have to do this, it's simply an option. Another way that people are publishing their own books today is taking a manuscript or rough draft to a printer like www.tampaprinter.com and having the staff there edit it to catch any spelling, grammar or other errors, and set the content up for digital book printing.
Our Team
The creative team at Tampa Printer can help you decide which format might be best for your book printing. You may choose to have the final version available as a portable document format, more commonly known as PDF. There are other options available as well, such as ePub, and mobi. The EPUB format has gained some popularity as a vendor-independent XML-based e-book format, which means that almost any modern computing device can read it's contents. The mobi format, when used for book printing, has the advantage of being an early adopter so most tablets, laptops and other computing devices know how to read it's contents. The company that originally invented the .mobi format is a French company that was bought by Amazon in 2005. .If you are considering a more traditional approach to having book printing done using the paper and binding method, read on. There are some things to consider when deciding to have your book printed and published using what most people consider as the “normal" way of book printing.
Once you have the content for your book available, you'll need to consider the available budget. How many copies of the book do you want printed? On what type of paper do you want to the book printing done? Will any of the pages in the book be color? If so, how many colors? How many pages will be black and white? What type of cover do you want to use? Should is be durable and made of stiff cardboard or simply a thick-style paper binding? Do you want to go all-out and have the pages of the book physical stitched into the binding or will your book printing project simply require that the pages be glued together? If you've never had a book printed before, there are a lot of things to consider and it's something the creative team at Tampa Printer can not only help you with, but also brings to your project their years of expertise and assistance

Next Steps
Once you've got everything figured out for your book printing project, the last hurdle to get over is how many copies you'd like to have made. Like most things that are manufactured or created, the more you purchase, the lower the price becomes. However, you may find that you want to take a new approach to this problem. What is becoming increasingly popular within the book printing is to have them simply produced “on demand". What this means for the beginning author or business is that as sales come in, the book is printed. While this might seem like a complicated way to have your book brought to market, you may find that is makes the most financial sense.
