Textbook Printing.
About TextBooks
A book used in the study of a subject. A rather bland definition to be sure. However, the subject matter nor the presentation of information need be bland. How to convey this information is up to the author and when it’s done well a good textbook will be retained and referenced for years to come.
That idea, that the book will be referenced for years means that it should be a durable volume. Materials choice and binding options should be thoroughly considered when printing a text book.
It goes without saying that a dog-eared copy of your book on someone’s shelf would speak volumes of your efforts. It’s proof positive that you have helped inspire and teach others on the very subject for which you have an enduring passion.
