Book Reviews of Book Design and Production

Book Review: This is THE book on entry level book design
Summary: 5 Stars

Pete Masterson has written an excellent nuts and bolts book on designing your own book. If you're thinking of jumping onto the POD (Publishing On Demand) train, you'd be well advised to read this book before making that leap.

I'd worked in publishing and media, so I thought I knew everything. But I'd never designed a book. After working on complex media projects, how difficult could book design be? Just flow the text into InDesign, design a snappy cover, and that's that.

I decided to buy Masterton's book as a reality check. And that's when I discovered book design is its own planet.

If you're thinking of self-publishing, starting a publishing company, or even if you are a published author, this book will provide you with insider knowledge that requires years of publishing experience.

And if you decide this task is too much to take on, Masterson teaches you how to work efficiently with a professional designer. Having worked with numerous designers, I can assure you that your ability to communicate and manage the process can make a significant difference in the quality and cost of the project.
