Under some circumstances we may be able to increase the page count of your book over the numbers listed above. Books must contain at least 80 pages to generate a spine, which is a requirement of most bookstores. The final page count must be evenly divisible by 4, and there must be one blank page at the end of the book to accommodate the check barcode information. We will adjust page totals for these requirements. For books totaling over the maximum number of pages, the price charged to turn your manuscript into a book will be adjusted upwards. Please contact us should you require a larger book size.

Covers will be printed on an 80 lb enamel paper and laminated.

If you book requires a table of contents we can include this for a reasonable fee, provided you supply us with a list of what needs to be included in your table of contents. For example, if you require that the table of contents needs to contain only the chapter listings, then you would indicate this by providing us with a list like the one shown here:

Chapter 1 Your chapter 1 name
Chapter 2 Your chapter 2 name
Chapter 3 Your chapter 3 name

However, if you require a more detailed breakdown of your contents, then you should include this breakdown as shown here:

Chapter 1 Your chapter 1 name
Chapter 1 sub-category A
Chapter 1 sub-category B
Chapter 1 sub-category C

Chapter 2 Your chapter 2 name
Chapter 2 sub-category A
Chapter 2 sub-category B
Chapter 2 sub-category C

Chapter 3 Your chapter 3 name
Chapter 3 sub-category A
Chapter 3 sub-category B
Chapter 3 sub-category C

When formatting the text file for your manuscript please keep the following in mind:

• Single space the manuscript
• Use the font size you would like for your book.
• Designate chapter changes by chapter headings typed in larger font than the rest of the document.
• The book text needs to be one continuous file
• Use a font that you wish to appear in the final product. Keep in mind that Beaver Publications has a limited collection of fonts. If you desire a special font that we do not have, you must send the font files to us. Our recommendation is that you choose a common font that is easy to read; Times New Roman and Arial are two examples of common, easy to read fonts.
• Paragraph indents must be created using the tab key. Do not use the space bar for this purpose, as we will not proof the number of spaces during our review process.
• Do not insert headers, footers or page numbers
• Do not insert any forced page breaks. Page breaks are inserted, as required, during the setup process
• Include in the beginning of your manuscript, the information described above under the heading The First Few Pages of your manuscript
• Do not insert pictures into your manuscript. If your manuscript requires pictures, the pictures must be provided separately and an indicator note should be placed in your manuscript to show where each picture should be located. Each separately provided picture file should contain an appropriate filename to easily identify the image (ex.: photo01.jpg, photo02.jpg, etc.) For example, if this sentence were to be followed by a picture, you would note it as shown here.
