Oso: An Enchanting Journey in Illustrated Children’s Book Printing

From the magical realm of children’s literature comes “Oso”, a delightful creation by Lujan Cordaro. This beautifully illustrated children’s book, brought to life by the expertise of Ex Why Zed, embarks on an enchanting journey into the world of print, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of storytelling.

A Tale Woven in Silk and Uncoated Paper

The physical manifestation of “Oso” is a testament to the attention to detail and commitment in self-published children’s books that defines Ex Why Zed. The book measures 254x203mm, providing ample space for the captivating illustrations to breathe. The cover, printed onto 170gsm Silk, is wrapped over a greyboard case and then matt laminated on the outer, giving it a soft, tactile feel and a robust durability that can withstand the test of time and the eager hands of young readers.

A glance inside reveals two sets of 4-page end papers, printed onto 170gsm uncoated paper, offering a smooth, premium feel. The 28 inside pages, also on 170gsm uncoated paper, carry the vibrant, four-colour print throughout the book. Each page is trimmed, collated, and case bound with precision, ensuring a seamless reading experience.

Ex Why Zed makes self publishing a truly pleasurable experience!
Brilliant communication from start to finish. Mike had endless patience for the many questions we asked. The guides provided were easy to follow and super helpful (the video guides are a must watch too). Our order of hardback illustrated children's books was delivered expertly packaged and on time. As for the finished product itself - stunning - a real joy to finally hold, beautifully made and perfectly printed! We couldn't have asked for more. Well, we did - we instantly placed an order for paperback children's colouring books too, which we are equally as happy with. Look forward to working with Ex Why Zed again in the future.
