The most practical way to take the novel, short stories, poetry or personal keepsake book you've written out of the digital world and turn it into a professional book is online book printing. Without needing a publisher, you can print as many books as you like — from short runs starting at 1 copy to large print runs — with sharp print quality and durable perfect binding.

Critical Technical Details to Check Before Printing
For flawless book printing results, your file must meet the following workshop standards:
- Upload Artwork Later Option: If your file is large or you don't have it with you when ordering, you can safely place your order using the "Upload Artwork Later" button. Then send us your folder link via WeTransfer, Google Drive, Yandex Disk or Dropbox.
- File Order Standard: In your PDF, page 1 should be the outside front cover, the middle pages the book's inside text, and the last page the outside back cover.
- Perfect Binding Minimum Page Count: For hot-melt perfect binding, your book must have at least 60 pages (30 sheets). For files under 60 pages, blank pages are added at the end during printing so the binding holds.
- Cover Spine Calculation: When designing your book cover, calculate the spine thickness based on your page count. Allow 6 mm per 100 pages for Enzo paper and 4.5 mm per 100 pages for 80 gsm uncoated paper. The spine design is adjusted by us or during the approval stage. For more details, contact us at info@baskiadam.com.
- Scaling Notice From A4 to A5/Novel Size: Baskı Adam does not offer editorial typesetting or layout correction services. If you choose A5 or Novel Size for a file prepared in A4, all text and font sizes will be scaled down proportionally. We recommend preparing your design in the size you choose.
