I love the insight that the best reason to make a book hardcover is if it’s meant to be bought as a gift

Hi Eevi 🖖! Love your videos 😇! They are so helpful! Would you have a video on how to find a reputable overseas offset printer? It is useful to have copies of our book on hand when we do readings in schools, in libraries, in daycares and want to offer copies for sale. Also when we rent a kiosk at a market. Sure, it is an upfront cost, but the profit per book is interesting. Also, the image print quality is much better as is the quality of the paper and finishing.

Thank you again, Eevi, you are a treasure trove of useful information. After searching many brick & mortar bookstores and large department store book sections for "desirable children's book formats" I had come to the conclusion that paperback was just not wanted or acceptable to the p[ublic. You have corrected my view with an intelligent, experienced eye. Thank you again.

I always had my heart set on a hardcover. I never thought about it this way.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! 1000 thanks! You have a new subscriber! I will share with you our (my wife and I) first children's book once we figure all this out. We are so excited! Thank you again for this valuable information.

Thank you so much for this video, packed with info! I will definitely watch more of your videos. I already have one of my books on Amazon (Dagbjort Asgeirsdottir), but aim at publishing more of my books. Greetings, from Iceland 😊

Hi I have a question, do you have any suggestions for publishing a hardcover children's book 8.5 by 8.5 with a dust jacket? Ingraham spark doesn't seem to offer a dust jacket for this size. I also wonder, do you think a dust jacket is necessary for a children's book? Do your hardcover books offer a dust jacket? It seems that most of the books I see in libraries have dust jackets, so I wonder about this. Thank you.

I have problem . All my interior pages prints are over saturated. Especialy blue colors. In photoshop i tried to reproduce in color proof the same print result. Nothing goes close to it. What are the exact parameters in color proof custom setup for kdp ?

[AnnaLopezBesa]

Great tips as usual, Eevi. Thank you! ❤ By the way, is that a cymbal behind you? Do you or your boys play the drums? 😊

What are the sizes that are available on both Ingram AND KDP? Would like to know which size to design paperback in KDP so I don’t have to reformat later on when wanting to publish a hard cover on Ingram.
