Please SHARE. I'm hoping that my LinkedIn connections will do me the favor of sharing my post with ANYONE who might have some pro printing knowledge. I want to either buy my own book binding and printing equipment (I know it's expensive, that's okay) or I need a pro printer that I can build a relationship with to regularly print hardcover 5x8" books with NO MINIMUM order requirements. ( I literally order these 3-20 at a time, and the book is different in each order.) To be very clear. I am not an author trying to sell my book. I am a business who sells BESPOKE keepsake books. I know that big publishers like B&N print books on demand and they are priced reasonably, but their process moves snail's pace SLOW. My most recent order has been in "Printing" status for 3 weeks. Who knows when it will ship. I need a faster turnaround than that! My customers are waiting for their orders! Who can partner with me, or guide me through buying and learning to use the expensive binding and printing equipment?

Hi Heather, I completely understand your frustration with the slow turnaround times from big publishers. Have you considered reaching out to smaller, independent printing companies that specialize in short-run printing? They may be more flexible with order quantities and turnaround times. Additionally, you could explore investing in your own book binding and printing equipment, which could give you more control over the production process and ultimately lead to faster delivery times for your customers. I wish you the best of luck in finding the right printing solution for your bespoke keepsake books!
