The Ultimate Guide to a 48 Hour Book

January 16, 2019 (Last Updated October 24, 2022)

48 Hour Books

The Ultimate Guide to a 48 Hour Book:

 

Everything you need to know about preparing your book and ordering from

the fastest book printer in the world!

 

What’s Inside?

As the first chapter of our guidebook tells you:

 

“This book seeks to simplify the sometimes daunting task of getting your book into print. We take those dozens of details, break them down into an easily understood sequence of choices, explain each one thoroughly, and even make recommendations that can save you time and money.”

 

Our hope is that you read this book thoughtfully, zoning in on the information you need the most to help you in the printing process. We also provide advice and tips on specific resources and tools offered by our company to make your journey more seamless.

 

At the end of the book, you will find several pages of black and white and color photos on our different paper types. Being able to have these pages in front of you will be extremely helpful when deciding what paper to use for your book.

What’s on the cover?

The front cover of the Ultimate Guide features some of our favorite cover options:

 

Diamond 3D: A clear coating that is raised up from the surface. Since it's clear, it accentuates all of the printed colors underneath it. If you look at our Guidebook, you will notice this cover option on the words “The Ultimate Guide to” and again over the stopwatch.

 

Foil Stamping: The application of metallic foil to paper, using a heated custom-made die. It adds shimmer and richness to highlight specific text or images on your cover. You will clearly see the foil stamping over the words “48 Hour Book” in gold foil.

 

Silk Laminating: This refers to the matte finish of the cover itself. This is a popular option to pair with Diamond 3D printing or Foil Stamping.
