Wanting to be known as a studio to be relied upon, that is friendly, extremely competitive and flexible, has flair, creativity, talent and experience that can boast\u00a0over 30\u00a0years of working with\u00a0books. I can give an assurance that every detail of a project will be carefully handled, deadlines adhered to, and the finished product as pleasing as possible.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No job is ever too small.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I will be delighted to discuss your typesetting\u00a0requirements\u00a0and work within tight budgets on an hourly, daily or project basis.\u00a0My rates are \u00a313\/hour and scans can be as little as \u00a32 each. Generally, a simple novel\u00a0can be produced\u00a0in around four hours. I can offer the complete book design service in the tradition of fine typography, prompt personal attention and familiar with producing highly illustrated and complex titles. I can prevent potentially costly delays and charges by taking the finished product to pdf, printer ready.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Also, should you have a project you would love to see in print,\u00a0poems, stories, memories\u00a0or\u00a0hobbies and want to self-publish,\u00a0I offer these services\u00a0to\u00a0design and typeset your book, then outsource the digitally printed books, which can be as little as 20 copies, at a very competitive price. The quality can be exceptional. See my separate page<\/a> about these services in the top menu. I am also a partner in a very small publishing company, North Bridge Publishing <\/a>producing local-only books, teaming up again with Anton Rippon, the founder of Breedon Books, and we write and design all the books ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And if you want to try and have a go yourself, check out my Helpful Information<\/a>\u00a0page, which may aid you in making your book look much nicer. There are tips on book sizes<\/a> and binding<\/a>, the best\u00a0fonts<\/a>\u00a0to use for book text, proofreading marks<\/a> and a few things to be wary of.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The painter and designer Geofroy Tory believed that the proportions of the alphabet should reflect the ideal human form. He wrote, ‘the cross-stroke covers the man’s organ of generation, to signify that Modersty and Chastity are required, before all else, in those who seek acquaintance with well-shaped letters.’ Tory was also the one we can blame for adding accents on letters in French.<\/h3>
