Book Publishers
If you're looking for book publishers who make the ordering process easy to understand, you've come to the right place. The old way generally required finding a literary agent, then finding a publisher and, as you might imagine, such agents and publishers are very selective about who they agree to work with. Just finding a publisher can easily take a couple of years of submissions, rejection letters, etc. In today's environment, that can be a killer.
Faced with such a long and arduous process, many authors choose instead to become – in essence – their own book publishers; an option that 48hrbooks.com can provide. By simply uploading a manuscript and selecting various options available, authors will be supplied with a professionally printed, designed, and perfect-bound book at whatever quantity they desire – shipped in 48 hours.
By taking control of their own creative process, and becoming – in essence – their own book publishers, authors everywhere can finally achieve their dream of seeing their words – and their name – in print!
Any Extra Charges?
Only if you choose any of the following options:Case Binding (add $10 per book)

Cover Design (either $100 or $500)
ISBN and barcode ($125 to RR Bowker, and YOU will be the publisher!)
Printed Proof ($40)
Re-formatting your files ($75 minimum)
Convert files to PDF ($50)
Extra Computer Time ($75 per hour)
Sending revised files ($50 each new set of files)

Casebinding - hard cover (add $10 per book):
Simply ADD $10 per book to the regular Perfect Bound prices that appear on our Cost Calculator. If your book is 400 pages or less, please add three extra days for Case Binding. Unfortunately, if your book is over 400 pages, it has to be oversewn, and THAT will add 4 weeks to the process. (We're working on speeding this up, but for now, it's a 4 week process. But again, that's only for thick books over 400 pages. Thinner books only add three days.)Spiral Coil Binding (add $0.60 per book):
Simply ADD $0.60 per book to the regular Perfect Bound prices that appear on our Cost Calculator. If your book is 300 pages or less, please add three extra days for Spiral Coil Binding. Unfortunately, if your book is over 300 pages, it's too thick to be Spiral Bound.Cover Design (either $100 or $500):
If you have a cover already, there's no charge. To use our Create-A-Cover! feature, add $100 (a real steal!). For the author with very specific needs, we offer a fully customized cover created by an experienced graphic designer for $500. All of these charges are one-time charges. There's no additional charge on re-orders, if you use the same cover design.For cover samples, and more info

ISBN and barcodes assistance (no charge):
Your book doesn’t have to have an ISBN, but if you’re planning on selling it through major bookstores or online bookstores, you’ll need one. We recommend getting your own block of ISBN numbers, through ISBN.org.
We can help you get your own ISBN and barcode and YOU will be the publisher! If you only need one (1) ISBN, simply download the single ISBN application form here, either as a WORD DOC or as a PDF FILE. For multiple ISBNs, you'll need to go to their website, ISBN.org. They have a simple online order form, and a block of 10 ISBNs is $275, or a block of 100 is $995. Why get your own? Because you will be your own publisher. You’ll retain all rights to your book. Of course, we still want to print your books, but you’ll have total control.
The process takes about a week, though, so you'll need to figure that into your deadline. If you’re in a hurry, have us print the first set of books without an ISBN. We can always print stickers that you can put on the books after you get your ISBN.

Printed Proof ($40):
We send a PDF proof for you to look at for FREE, but if you also want a PRINTED PROOF sent to you via UPS Next Day Air, say 'Yes" to Printed Proof. You'll still get the PDF proof, but after you OK that, we'll print, bind and ship a printed proof to you.Re-formatting your files ($75 minimum):
If your files are set up for 8.5 x 11, but you want your book to be a different size and have no idea how to re-format it, we can re-format your files for you. Of course, you could call or email us and we can send you simple instructions for re-formatting, and you could do it yourself for free.Converting files to PDF ($50):
You can convert your files to PDF for FREE by downloading a FREE converter at www.pdfFactory.com, or click here for instant download and select "RUN". But if you can't figure it out, call us for help, or just send us your Word files and we'll convert them for you (for $50).Sending us revised files ($50):
Please proofread your files carefully before submitting them. We do a lot of work on your files before sending you the PDF proof or the printed proof. If you need to submit new files, there is a $50 charge to cover the work we've already done on your original files.Cancelled orders ($100 + any other options chosen):
As soon as you place your order, it's put into our production schedule. We put a lot of work into your files and reserve press time for printing your book. If you cancel your order, we'll be happy to return any deposits or credit card authorizations, minus $100 and any other options chosen that we have performed.For a Step-by-Step explanation
