Book Design Made Simple for Self-Publishers

Simple instructions will guide you through each stage of your book's 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 as your title and copyright pages, ISBN number and bar code, page count for printing, marketing considerations, plus how to choose the right type of printing 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:

• you'll easily make future changes to your book for reprints or special editions
• purchasing InDesign often costs the same as having your book professionally typeset (and you'll still own the software when your book is finished)
• to save on costs

Please be aware that learning InDesign does require a good working knowledge of computer software. If you're 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 simple instructions.
