2 - Direct Your Cover Design
These templates define best "real estate" for your community's custom material on the covers. Refer to Areas A through E when directing your edits and graphics placements. If you download the template, you can write your texts on a print-out and email a scan back to us. Or, you could email your edits and cite the template's "Area X" to help us place your edits correctly.

3 - Await your PDF proof!
Upon receipt of your instructions and graphics files, Cheryl will start drafting your custom cover file.
Your project's designated Proofer will be emailed a PDF that incorporates the requested edits. This is an iterative process, so that person should be prepared to review (and consult colleagues as necessary).
Additional editing rounds will continue until such time as your Proofer emails TWB that the current PDF is "Ready for Print".

New Pricing in
2022
After more than a decade, TWB is issuing a new price list, effective 3/1/22.
In truth, TWB's costs have been ever-rising, but 2021's sharp increases in material costs forced us to address this niggling issue.
To our steadfast clients of record as of 12/31/21, we are offering Legacy pricing through 2022. Call or email Cheryl or Carole for a Legacy Order Form.
Hopefully, you can take advantage of this opportunity in 2022.
Thank you for your loyal support!
My group is considering custom Baby Readers as a part of a new initiative...
While your organization is in the planning stages, we can work with you to create a mock-up custom cover. You'll have a draft custom version so colleagues have something tangible to consider during your presentation. Contact Cheryl for more information: 612-990-6011.
Preparing for an Early Learning committee meeting?
We can send you sample copies of our Baby and/or Toddler Readers. As you discuss your community's first outreach to new parents, colleagues may review the nursery rhymes, photos and Parent Notes.
