ABOUT US

Many years of publishing experience 

1st Book Publishing was founded by a group of American and European publishing entrepreneurs.

Starting out in the 1980s as self-publishers, they soon found out how difficult and near impossible it was then for unpublished authors to place their titles with larger publishing houses and book distributors. When in the mid-1990s a new era in publishing began with on-demand printing, and considering that about 100,000 new books are published each year (most of them failing to become economically viable), the team decided to offer cost-efficient publishing solutions for authors and publishers based on the Print-on-Demand business model as well as their publishing expertise. This expertise includes having produced books in several languages  (English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Greek and Hebrew) and other related work required to publish attractive 4-color or black & white books in both hard and soft cover  versions. Addressing more complex electronic publishing services, we can also assist with SGML/XML/HTML conversion and validation; conversion of database files to layout files in Pagemaker, QuarkXPress, Adobe In Design, using database programming and layout tags; or digitization of street maps. Acknowledging that the rules in publishing have changed, we would   like to invite first-time writers, veteran authors and seasoned publishers to contact us to find out how to convert a manuscript into a professionally designed book, finding it distributed and available in 30,000 bookstores worldwide, and enjoying timely royalty reports and payments in order to quickly reach and surpass a return of investment point.
