          These books represent some of 
              the more challenging and therefore more costly design, art and production 
              issues in our portfolio.   | 
        
         
          Most books, such as novels, 
              take 2 to 8 hours to design, and 2 to 30 for typesetting,* and simple 
              covers 2-16 hours  |

          * We do not presume that all 
              copy is perfect and ready to typeset. We check it for typographical 
              issues: no space before punctuation, except periods in the case 
              of ellipses, double spaces to single spaces, typographic quotation 
              marks, double dashes for em dashes, etc. We correct for widows and 
              rivers. We will keep italics, and advise regarding idiosyncratic 
              spelling and type effects. All of which means we work with a printout 
              of your manuscript, page by page. Manuscripts that require extra 
              work or have special typographic and textual issues such as notes, 
              indexes, a complex hierarchy of headers or paragraphs, or design 
              issues take extra time.   |
