Custom Baby + Toddler Readers: Act Soon!
This Spring, TWB is on press with our soft-cover titles:
Rock-A-Bye Baby Reader (Eng, Newborn - 1 yr) Despertar a la lectura (Sp, Newborn - 1 yr)
AND, our board-book titles:
Rock-A-Bye Baby Reader (Eng, Newborn - 1 yr) Despertar a la lectura (Sp, Newborn - 1 yr)
Bunnaby Bunny (Eng, 1-3 yrs) El conejito Claudio (Sp, 1-3 yrs)
NB: You may print family photos from your area in your custom Baby Readers this Spring!
Your books can better represent the cultures and ethnicities of your particular area's
families. Too, your photos might evoke pride of place, featuring your facilities/library, local landmarks, or some parents in team/campaign/library/school/community garb. (Go team!) Here are the details.
Please contact us to request sample custom client books to help demonstrate how others have used the space available to customize their printings. Too, we can generate draft versions of your own proposed covers. These PDFs can be great visual aids as you discuss project scope with your colleagues, coalition, board, funders and/or other involved parties.
Follow three simple steps through TWB's custom-cover ordering process:
First,
Complete Order Form
Please provide us with a completed Order Form with all the necessary information. Including delivery address and presence or absence of a delivery dock!
Custom Soft-Cover Order Form
Custom Board-Book Order Form
Then,
Direct 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. Your graphics files may be emailed as attachments to us: [email protected].
Cover Templates
Finally,
Await PDF proof!
Upon receipt of your instructions and graphics files, Cheryl will start drafting your custom cover file.
Your project's designated Proofer will receive a PDF via email that incorporates the requested edits. This is an iterative process. Your Proofer will receive (and consult colleagues as necessary) until such time as your Proofer alerts TWB that the current PDF is approved as "Ready for the Presses".
