Books for the Publishing Trade

Most of the books you see in a bookstore are called “trade books.” All have subtle elements that qualify them to be accepted by the bookstore. Most trade books have black-and-white text pages, a full-color hard or soft cover, and a spine with the book’s title and author’s name printed on it (rarely will you see a spiral- or wire-bound book on a bookstore shelf). Every book contains the Bookland EAN bar code.

If you want to publish a trade book, we take all the guesswork out of getting your book accepted by the book industry. You provide us your edited manuscript in a Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or acceptable text file, and we’ll create a trade book for you.
