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!

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.

ISBN and barcode assistance (no charge): We can help you get your own ISBN and barcode and YOU will be the publisher! Download the application form here, either as a WORD DOC or as a PDF FILE. The process takes about a week, though, so you'll need to figure that into your deadline.
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.
These are PERFECT BOUND BOOKS (paperback books), with inside pages printed in black ink on 60# bright white offset, full-color covers printed on a heavy 10 pt.
