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 overviewOur professionally bound and printed books are
available in three sizes: 8 ½" x 11", 6" x
8" and 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. Imprints for revelation, dialogue & preservation of vision...... Blue
