America's Quality Self-Published Book Press.

Publishers' Graphics, LLC has been answering the needs of self-publishers and authors for more than 10 years. We have become the leader in self-published book manufacture. By combining the very latest in digital imaging and printing technology with time honored book craftsmanship, we produce what our customers claim are the best made books available.

Publishers' Graphics, through our state-of-the-art self-published book manufacturing techniques, can produce a full range of self-published books in styles from traditional to cutting-edge – whether the book project is a backlist title for a major publisher, or the debut title for a yet unpublished author. The same quality craftsmanship is brought to bear on each book we produce so it can be a treasured work of art, or residual profits that keep publishers’ customers coming back for more. Our clientele is as varied as the books we produce, and the options for book manufacturing are only as limited as your needs. Our central location in Carol Stream, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) allows us to serve the entire United States with ease.

We offer a full array of book manufacturing processes that allow our customers the convenience of random color pages throughout a self-published book, full bleeds on color or black text pages, utilization of both coated and offset paper within the same book—randomly placed, split runs of soft and hardcover…..and the list goes on! All these options are affordable and available in the small quantities that digital book production allows. It’s what we do!

We work every day to reinforce your satisfaction and loyalty. No one says we are America's biggest self-published book printer, but many say we are America's BEST. We think our tagline says it all:

A Few Great Books.

Full Creative Freedom

Publishers’ Graphics' wide variety of technology allows your self-published book to look like you want it to look. Whether you design it or we design it or you have it designed by an outside agency, we can produce every style of print-on-demand book from the most stylized to the most traditional.

Quality That Shows

Just because you only need 200 books does not mean you should sacrifice quality printing. At Publishers' Graphics we don't allow it. Self-published book production is all we do so we do it the right way. Look closely at our printing samples shown on this page (click on them to enlarge them) and see for yourself: quality halftones, crisp type, dazzling four-color reproduction, high quality binding and durable dust jackets. We insist on quality on every short-run book job. Even though the author's name is on the cover, our quality is throughout the book.

Short Turnaround Time

Short-run book manufacturing refers to the number of copies of a book. Traditionally, 2,000 or fewer. However, at Publishers' Graphics it also refers to the time it takes to get your book from manuscript to bound copies. Very short. Depending on your self-published book project, digital book production can be as short as ten days - start to finish.

Materials and Methods

We can print your short-run book on a huge variety of paper stocks from uncoated to coated book stocks, glossy or dull finishes, standard and archival papers. We use pigments that are the most stable in the industry. The three things that go into every one of our books are: Quality, Quality, Quality.

A full range of services to take your book from manuscript to the bookshelf.

We offer everything you need to transform your manuscript from a stack of paper or an electronic file into quality, finished books.

As America's Quality Short-Run Book Manufacturer, Publishers' Graphics offers complete book printing services for those titles requiring small print runs and through periodic printing of long-selling titles, we can dramatically improve cash flow by eliminating large inventories.

Graphic Design Services

Publishers’ Graphics (America's Quality self-published book Manufacturer) not only prints and binds short-run books, we also create eye catching covers and professionally designed text pages. Our graphic designers can create covers from your ideas or we can present you with our own creations. Our graphics department isn’t just for new books; we can take old text pages, scan those in, and either design or scan covers to provide you with the overall look you want to achieve. Whatever you have to work with, Publishers’ Graphics can turn your ideas into a published book.

Production Services

Publishers’ Graphics is both a self-published book printer and a bindery. As a quality book manufacturer, our printing capabilities include a full range of digital book production techniques. Our unique capabilities include the ability to randomly place color pages throughout black text (as opposed to just in between signatures) as well as to use a combination of stocks, coated as well as offset within one book (again, without regard to signature breaks) We offer a variety of text stocks that include recycled papers with post consumer waste content, opaque whites and naturals, as well as 10 and 12 pt cover stock. Along with our printing capabilities, we have a full service bindery to bind your books in a variety of choices. You’ll love the quality of work and attention to detail that you’ll receive from Publishers’ Graphics.

Products

One of our greatest assets is the wide variety of products we can manufacture. From a simple folded brochure to a full color smyth sewn case-bound short-run book, Publishers’ Graphics has the equipment and the knowledge to produce a full array of bound self-published book. Our book manufacturer capabilities include soft cover, wire-o, plastic coil, plastic comb, saddlestitched, and 3 hole drilled products as well as perfect-bound hard cover, side and smyth sewn case-bound books.

Data Conversion and Storage

We offer all the ancilliary services you need to complete your self-published book. Need high quality scans of photos or documents? Text scanning of your out-of-print book? Corrections made on an existing digital file? Or long-term, secure digital storage of your work? We do it all.

If you have 1 book or 100, we can archive your files, print the needed quantities of each of your titles, and drop ship them to various locations.
