FAQs
Most cookbooks are typically portrait-oriented and sized at 8″ x 10″ or 8.5” x 11″. However, that doesn’t mean you should limit your vision to these sizes. We accommodate various sizes, orientations, and binding styles, so feel free to design your cookbook with whichever size you prefer.
Glossy and smooth-finish paper are popular options for cookbooks, but you can also choose other types of paper for your cookbook. We recommend choosing quality paper types that are slightly more water-resistant, especially when you consider that your cookbooks will be in the kitchen more often.
You may need to work with a book layout designer to turn your recipes, images, and other content into a manuscript. Once the manuscript and your other files are ready, send them to us through a secure link we’ll provide you. We work with standard design and layout applications on Mac and Windows, including Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and QuarkXPress.
After you send a copy of your manuscript to our team, printing doesn’t start until we’ve finalized all the details. Softcover books typically take up to 10 business days, while hardcover books can take up to 20 business days. We strive for quick turnaround times while maintaining the high quality we provide our clients.
