Printing Your Book Print Run You must decide how many books you will need, with a minimum of twenty-five (25) copies. Discounts are available for orders in excess of 250 copies. Delivery Please allow four (4) weeks from placement of order until the books will be mailed (postage may apply) or delivered to you, depending on location. Reprints Additional copies (minimum 25) can be ordered when required, with a four (4) week lead time. The normal print cost plus a handling charge of $20.00 is all you pay.
