Quality book manufacturers for independent publishers

Biddles print all types of books from text only to highly illustrated colour books offering short run from 100 copies for paperbacks and hardbacks. With over 125 years of printing experience behind us, we provide a level of book manufacturing craftmanship and publishing understanding that no other book printer can match. We promise not to blind you with technical jargon and will take the time to explain the right production route for your book.

Publisher's Choice for the short and long run

Publisher's Choice® is our award winning digital book production service which gives you all the benefits of the print-on-demand model but at prices you can afford and the quality you want. Adopting Publisher's Choice® throws open the possibility of quickly increasing supply to meet demand on unexpectedly fast-moving titles, enabling you to fully exploit every sales opportunity. On the other hand, you could experiment with higher risk titles, try new authors or price books more competitively.

The art world of short run digital print

Illustrated Choice offers stunning quality for black and white and colour digitally printed books. For the first time you can print litho quality short run illustrated books at a unit cost more commonly associated with much longer print runs. This service is ideal for books with high photographic content where quality of reproduction is paramount.

Hardback books of distinction with all those special finishing touches

We are renowned for the quality of the hardback books that we produce and can offer a variety of special finishing touches for hardbacks that other short run digital book printers simply can't. These include a wide variety of cloth or faux leather finishes, ribbon markers, head and tail bands, coloured or printed endpapers and foil blocking on the front and spine.

We have just received our eagerly anticipated hardback books and have been overwhelmed by the outstanding professional quality of printing.

From our initial contact with Biddles, being complete novices, to the finished product, we have been impressed by the service and guidance we have received, not to mention the unbeatable price.

An autobiographical manuscript, typed on an old manual typewriter by an even older aunt, scanned and converted to PDF by her teenage great niece, has with your help been transformed into a serious looking piece of local history.

We have all been thrilled by this experience, would whole heartedly recommend you to anyone else contemplating a similar exercise and can’t thank you enough for your help with this project.”
