Q: What makes us different from other print and bind shops?
A: We only print and bind Charlotte Mason homeschooling materials that are copyright-free.Most of the time, we’ll fix the PDFs – centralize the copies, remove the yellowish backgrounds, make the images clearer and sharper, and clean the edges, pencil marks, and other artifacts.We will also insert page numbers in materials that do not have them and fix the table of contents according to the new page numbers.Although it is not 100% perfect, this makes our PDF copies better than other shops.

Q: Aside from perfect binding, do you do any other type of binding?
A: Before May 15, 2024, we thermal-bind all our books. Books made from May 15, 2024 onwards are already perfect binded using a hotmelt binding machine. Here’s how we do it:
We also offer WIRE and COIL binding services, as long as the material you will provide us is copyright-free. Otherwise, you need to have permission (personal use as per their copyright) or written permission from the author/company before we proceed with the job. Send us the file for a quotation.
If you want to save money, we can staple up to 200 sheets (that’s 800 pages booklet type).

Q: Aside from the existing books in your shop, what other titles can you produce?
A: We strictly respect copyright rules. We will print and bind any PDF that is already out of copyright. To be sure, go to any public domain and search for the book title. Download the sample PDF or check the pages to look for the copyright. Books printed in the 1920s and below are safe to reproduce without violating copyright law. If it’s above 1920, search online for the author’s year of death and add 70 years. It should be safe to reproduce.
