Blue Pearl Press publishes high quality limited edition monographs
and catalogues.
We offer a specialized print on demand publishing
service for artists. If you would like a professional quality, hardcover
or softcover book containing images of your work, we can provide
it at an exceptionally low cost.
A quick overview
Our professionally bound and printed books are
available in three sizes: 8 ½" x 11", 6" x
8" and
2 ½" x 3 ½". The largest book is available
in hard or soft cover. The smaller sizes are softcover only. They
are all exquisite and of the highest quality.
You initially pay a one-time design, setup and
layout fee for your book of choice. You can then order to print
as many or few books as you need, as often as you need them. The
design fee is typically $750.00. The basic book has 20 pages, though
additional pages can be added for a modest per page fee.
If for example you choose the 6 x 8 softcover,
with your first order we’ll give you two books. These will
be included in the $750.00 design/setup cost. This is our best seller,
and with good reason. Simply put it makes an impressive catalogue
of your work.
If you want to order additional books, the cost
is roughly $15.00 per copy. Unlike most traditional printing companies,
we do not require a minimum order of 500, or 1000. You can order
10 or 100 or just 1 – any time that you need them. You simply
pay for the printing. If for example you wanted to order 100 catalogues
today (the 2 included in the design cost plus 98 additional), your
total cost, would be approximately $2200.00. If a year from now
you wanted another 50, you would pay just the printing fee, and
the cost would be roughly $750.
If alternatively you select the elegant 8 ½
x 11 hardcover, the design fee is still $750 and we give you two
books at no charge. Additional copies are approximately $39.00 each.
If you select the 2 ½ x 3 ½ size,
the design cost remains $750.00, but we now include three booklets
as part of the deal. Additional copies are roughly $5.00 each. The
booklets make great “calling cards”.
If you place an order for two book sizes at the
same time, special discounts will generally apply. The second book
design normally runs $250.00, a savings of $500. Contact us for
specifics.
Your primary obligation is to provide us with publication
quality digital photos of your artwork, image titles and a few paragraphs
of text, and we do the rest.
Turnaround time can be as little as three to four
weeks from start to finish.
All of our books are a great value. First and foremost
their importance as a marketing tool to further your career can’t
be overstated. Additionally they allow, at minimum cost, preservation
of your artwork for future generations to enjoy and, of course,
make great gifts for family and friends.
If you want to sell your books in stores, galleries,
museums or through on-line retailers, we can publish them with an
ISBN number.
All editions – hard and softcover alike –
are truly special and will offer even the finest museum curators
and gallery dealers an impressive imprint of your vision and talent.
All books are professionally bound (not stapled) and printed on glossy book quality paper (not card stock). If you want to explore options with us, please send an email to BluePearlPress@msn.com.
