How it works

From your finished file to a printed hardcover.

Order a standard hardcover online, or start with a free file check if you need advice. $99 per copy covers up to 300 pages, straightforward layout and cover support, proof revisions and standard tracked shipping. You approve the digital proof before printing.

Up to 300 pages included. Books over 300 pages cost extra. We review your file, calculate the additional cost and confirm the total before payment.

You decide before we print.

First we review your file and book specifications. Then you decide whether to order. Your proof approval is a separate step before production.

01

Request the free file check

Enter your email and upload the interior file; add a separate cover if you have one.

02

Receive your book preparation plan

We check the file, confirm your size, paper and page count, and explain any preparation needed. Straightforward file corrections, layout and cover support plus proof revisions are included. We quote extensive typesetting, full redesign and special specifications separately before payment.

03

Pay once with your preferred available method

Pay $99 (up to 300 pages) per copy, including straightforward layout and cover support, proof revisions, one hardcover and standard tracked shipping.

04

Approve the digital proof

Check the text, layout, page order and cover. Revisions before proof approval are included. A screen proof is not a physical sample and cannot show paper feel or guarantee exact printed color.

05

Receive one real hardcover

We confirm your production estimate after reviewing the files and specifications. Production starts only after payment, final files and digital proof approval are complete. Production estimates use working days; shipping time is additional and depends on the destination and carrier. Tell us any must-arrive date before ordering so we can check feasibility.

Questions, answered plainly

Before you upload

The short answers customers usually need before sending a finished book file.

Is the file check really free?

Yes. Upload your file and email for an initial human review and preparation plan. There is no payment or obligation to order. If you order, straightforward file corrections, layout and cover support, proof revisions and one hardcover up to 300 pages are included in the $99 price. Full redesign and special specifications need a quote first.

Which file formats can I upload?

Interior files may be PDF, DOC, DOCX or RTF. A separate cover may be PDF, JPG, JPEG or PNG. Each individual file can be up to 100 MB.

Which book sizes do you offer?

Our common sizes are A5 (148 × 210 mm), A4 (210 × 297 mm), and 8.5 × 11 inches. Tell us your preferred size when you submit your file.

Is there a page-count limit?

$99 includes one hardcover book up to 300 pages. Books over 300 pages cost extra. Send us your file and we will calculate the additional cost and confirm the total before payment. We also review paper, binding and whether a long manuscript needs more than one volume. For files over 100 MB, use the project consultation option to share a download link.

Which paper options are commonly used?

Uncoated woodfree paper (offset paper) and double-sided coated art paper. We confirm the paper choice with you during the file check.

Do I need to choose a service before uploading?

No. Upload your current file and we will explain what it needs. Straightforward preparation is included in the standard service; full redesign, special specifications and more than 300 pages need an agreed quote.

What does the fixed price include?

$99 (up to 300 pages) includes human file review, technical corrections, straightforward interior layout, cover support and spine setup, a digital proof and revisions, one finished hardcover and standard tracked shipping. Books over 300 pages cost extra; we calculate and confirm the total before payment.

Which payment methods can I use?

Our website checkout offers credit/debit cards and PayPal. The options shown at checkout depend on your eligibility and location. See payment options.

When do I pay?

You can order the standard book directly on our product page. If the file is unfinished, over 300 pages, needs full redesign or has a fixed deadline, use the free file check first so we can confirm the scope and total. Checkout offers credit/debit cards and PayPal. Printing still requires digital-proof approval.

Will I see the book before it is printed?

Yes. You receive a digital proof to review and approve before printing begins.

How long does production and delivery take?

We confirm your production estimate after reviewing the files and specifications. Production starts only after payment, final files and digital proof approval are complete. Production estimates use working days; shipping time is additional and depends on the destination and carrier. Tell us any must-arrive date before ordering so we can check feasibility.

What if the finished book has a problem caused by YourBookBound?

Report a verified production issue within 30 days of delivery. If we caused the problem, you may choose a corrected reprint or a refund under our Refund & Reprint Policy.

How long are uploaded files kept?

Normally up to 90 days after submission. Active support or legal requirements may affect retention; see our Privacy Policy for the full terms.

Can I order more than one copy?

Choose your quantity on the product page for copies of the same book at $99 per copy, up to 300 pages each. For larger quantities, contact us about a bulk discount before paying. Discounts are confirmed individually; one copy is welcome.

Do I have to order more after receiving the first book?

No. Your one-book order is complete on its own. Additional copies are entirely optional.

Can I order several copies immediately?

Choose your quantity on the product page for copies of the same book at $99 per copy, up to 300 pages each. For larger quantities, contact us about a bulk discount before paying. Discounts are confirmed individually; one copy is welcome.

Will additional copies have the same price as the first book?

Choose your quantity on the product page for copies of the same book at $99 per copy, up to 300 pages each. For larger quantities, contact us about a bulk discount before paying. Discounts are confirmed individually; one copy is welcome.
