Book production

Once the content and appearance of the book has been finalized and checked, the next stage is the actual printing. This will be done under strict supervision by our own printers and binders. They will be "perfect" bound as paperbacks (using extra strong rubberized flexible glue) and the covers will be in full colour and laminated on a one-sided 300gsm art board. You can be confident that the book will be attractive and hardwearing.

Normally, a Dinas publication will not be casebound as a "hardback", but this possibility can be discussed under certain circumstances.

As noted earlier, you will be asked to pay 75% of printing costs. These are calculated per page, and can be easily worked out. If there are pictures to be scanned, these can also be calculated (at a lower rate than normal). We do not charge for colour scanning for the book covers. We would be glad to give you a full estimate on the basis of any manuscript that you send us.
