Light Messages offers the highest quality professional printing available. With a range of paper weights, hardcovers, softcovers, and black/white or full color options, you're sure to end up with a book that looks as good as it reads.
We offer both bulk printing and print on demand (POD) editions.
Bulk printing costs half or less as much as POD but ties up money and space. Bulk printing is a good solution if you know that you will sell a large number of books in a limited time. Bulk printing is available for quantities of 1,000 or more with the greatest discount for quantities of 2,000 or more.
Print on Demand (POD) is the ideal solution for continual sales of more modest quantities. We produce and ship 1-500 copies of any title, usually in a week or less. We supply Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, bookstores at wholesale prices or individual customers at retail prices. As the author, you can order your books at special author prices well below wholesale. If you purchase 50 or more copies of the same title at a time the cost is even less.
While the printing cost is less than you might think, it does depend on book size, number of pages, use of color, binding and so many factors that each book must be quoted separately. As a generic example, a typical 5-1/2"X8-1/2" book of 200 pages printed in black ink with a full-color paperback cover could retail for $14 to $18 and yield an author royalty of $5 to $7 per copy.
