Introduction

The arima publishing services offer authors a range of professional solutions producing quality books in paperback format. For authors that would like to consider alternative presentation formats for their books, arima can offer a number of professional options:

Cover - designer commission

Whilst arima employs professional graphic designers to produce all our book cover work, we understand that some authors would like the opportunity to work closely with the designers to develop a more detailed and personal design brief. A full design commission service is available for both cover and interior work.

Hardback & softback versions

You can publish your book in both professional hardback and softback versions. (There are two types of hardcover options: the first is a case-laminated hardback book and the second is the traditional clothbound book with four-colour dust jacket.)

Alternative book sizes

arima books are printed in Demy size 216mm x 140mm (5.5" x 8.5") or 229mm x 152mm (6" x 9"). The following larger formats are also available as optional extras:

e-books

Publishing your book as an e-book is an optional service. arima produces e-books in adobe, palm and Microsoft Reader formats.
