With our expertise and dedication to quality, we can help you create a truly unique reading experience that will captivate your readers.

Take a look at the top five ways to customize your self-published book.

1. Book Type: Hardcover or Paperback?

At 48 Hour Books, you have the opportunity to customize every aspect of your self-published book. With our state-of-the-art printing technology, you can bring your vision to life with exceptional print quality and clarity. Choose between hardcover or paperback to create a book that matches your style and aesthetic. So, whether you're printing a novel, a memoir, or a poetry collection, our custom book printing services ensure that your words leap off the page. We also have saddle-stitch (stapled binding) and spiral coil binding available as well! 

2. Book Size

Another way to customize your book design, is the size of your book. Popular book sizes are 5.5” x 8.5”, but you can choose which style fits your book best. Whether that’s portrait, landscape, or square, we can accommodate any size your heart desires to make your book stand out. We also offer free book formatting templates so that everything on your page designs fit each book size properly.

4. Book Binding

The binding of your self-published book is not just about durability; it's an opportunity to enhance the overall reading experience. We offer a range of custom book binding options to suit your preferences.
