Out of print books
Authors of out of print books can choose to bring their work back to life. You must be able to supply two copies of your work. They must be in good condition. One copy will be destroyed and the other used as a reference guide. The reference copy will be returned to you after the printing has been completed.

The return to print service is only available for postal submissions.

We are able to reprint your book by scanning and creating an image or graphic file of each page. We are then able to print the book from these scanned images.

We are able to make limited changes to a book. We can delete or replace whole pages or sections. But you should consider whether this would affect the page numbering. We cannot guarantee that the new sections will look exactly like the original book. We will try to match the original font and layout but this cannot be guaranteed. (There are extra fees for this service please contact us for details).
