Book Design Made Simple for Self-Publishers

My easy-to-follow instructions will guide you through each stage of book design: planning, layout, and going to press.

Written specifically for self-publishers, you'll not only learn exactly what you need to know about book design, but also about things specific to book publishing, such your title and copyright pages, ISBN number and bar code, page count for printing, marketing considerations, plus how to choose the right printer for your book.

Is DIY book design right for you?

As a self-publisher, you'll be interested in designing your own book for a variety of reasons:

• to keep your costs down
• because purchasing InDesign often costs the same as having your book professionally designed (and you'll still own the software when your book is finished)
• you'll be able to make any changes to your book easily in the future for reprints or special editions

Please be aware that learning InDesign does require a good working knowledge of computer software. If you are comfortable using other kinds of software for word processing, spreadsheets, sending and receiving emails and browsing the Internet, chances are you can easily become familiar with the basics of InDesign by following my simple instructions.
