Children's Books We've Printed: Real Examples and Ideas

Every book on this page began as a story someone handed to us: a debut picture book, the fourth title in a series, a set of phonics readers for a classroom. Each case study shows the finished copies with the size, paper and binding we chose for them, so you can borrow a spec that already works.

Square 210mm picture books turn up more than any other single size, and most of these titles were printed on silk, which keeps illustration colour bright on the page. You will also find hardbacks with printed endpapers, landscape stories, colouring and activity books, and complete series.
