Print on Demand Combo: Softcover and Hardcover Packages

Want to be published in both hardcover and softcover? Well, we've got you covered (pardon the pun!). Please note that we have a separate pricing schedule for our hardcover packages and our softcover packages if you would just like one of them separately.

If you truly want to have your book available in as many formats as possible, you may want to consider our electronic publishing package as well!

Included in all POD Packages:

  • Softcover available on white or creme paper. Cloth cover with foil stamping on spine for hardcover, with optional dustjacket or casebinding available. Click here to see available trim sizes, binding and paper choices.
