At Tricorn Books, we understand that your book is a considerable personal investment and having probably spent huge amounts of time and effort getting the content right, we know you will care how it looks. You might already have some ideas in your head that you want to use or you might need some creative input, either way we certainly won’t bamboozle you with jargon or pass off formulaic templates at any stage of the design – but we will help you to manage the design of your book, are here to discuss all aspects of it and will work very hard with you to realise your effort.

How does it work?
The different elements of book design should work together, enhancing and re-enforcing your hard work. Talk to us initially about your ideas, how they relate to the inside, what style you want to use, the kind of imagery you want to incorporate. From this we will produce a concept for you, we develop that with you and when you are happy, we produce finished artwork for you to approve and send to the printer. What we need from you is edited, proofread text and images – equally, if you need any help with those, such as editing, proofing, re-sizing images or touching up photographs, we can do that too.

Your book deserves to look eye-catching and appealing to readers. Our designers are all experienced in creating books which look good on any book shelf.

Covers

People say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but it will certainly catch the attention of potential readers! We will work with you to create a unique cover for your book.

Typesetting

We can design the main text of your book (or ‘typeset’ it) and sympathetically place photographs or other visual content within its pages.
