"Book in Hand" editions
Rosenberry Books creates "Book in Hand"
editions for individuals and groups
who wish to have their work published in beautifully-designed handbound editions.
Rosenberry Books offers something very different from the mainstream
publishing industry,
which is no longer able to respond to the variety and richness of human endeavor.
Make it happen! Why wait for the "powers-that-be" to make your book come
true?
We want to work with you to make your unique works available in fine handbound
editions.
Working with book designer-author-illustrator Diane Katz, you will participate
in the design
of your book in order to achieve a publication that is sensitive to your idea
and expression.
Versatile and responsive to the text, Ms Katz can also illustrate your book.
Rosenberry Books also seeks to provide an alternative to the paperback
and desktop publishing
norm of poorly-designed books that fall apart as you read them. We are not the
only ones who
are tired of books that are nothing more than downloads with glued edges.
A well-made, beautifully designed book can be a treasured object which
provides a deeper
experience of the contents. We really go over-the-top — with
handmade papers, Japanese
binding, etc. — in our effort to make a beautiful, long-lasting book.
But we keep our prices
desktop-publishing competitive to make our alternative dream more accessible
and possible.
Your readers can experience reading in a new way through the multi-sensory
pleasures
of a book—handmade to last for generations—by Rosenberry
Books.

haiku poems, costs $10 per poem to design. For more than forty poems, the cost
is $5 per poem.
The minimum set-up fee is $140.
Book Orders
You can order books any time, in any quantity. The cost of your book will depend
on the dimensions,
the richness and variety of papers used in construction, number of pages, printing
costs (from full color
to black & white), etc. The minimum book cost is $6.95.
Royalties
We can offer your book for sale on our "Book in Hand" web page. For each sale
you will receive a
royalty specified in your "Book in Hand" agreement.
Wholesale
You are the best salesperson for your own book. For instance, as a lecturer
or teacher, you are in a
fine position to resell your books. For quantity purchases of books to resell,
we offer wholesale prices.
We can also sell wholesale copies of books to bookstores and giftshops on request.
