Over the last few weeks i have been looking at different printing companies that can help me create a Tarot book and deck, i've been compiling all of my short stories on my blog and creating a large size colouring book and card set. The print services i'm using gives the author the option to design and upload their artwork or you can choose from a number of book cover Templates, the process of uploading the PDF files is quite straight-forward.

 

I'm currently using two Book printing services to see which one gives me the best results, both printing companies give you a free IBSN Code so your able to sell your product in their shop store, i wanted to ask what's been your experience with creating your own self-published books and decks.

oh! I like this topic! have few books in store to publish!:) will post more when it's out!:)

oh! I like that blurb!^^ 8x11in is standard so it large as it ned to be!^^;)

will be watching your blog for news & updates!:)

I've published tarot guide books for my 3 decks using Amazon's Createspace and been very pleased with the results. One of the best things about the process is that images are uploaded in RGB colour, and whatever miracle app they use to convert to CMYK before printing, the colours in the printed book are excellent.

Hi pen

 

At the moment i'm awaiting my proofs from CreateSpace what i like most about their printing service it takes you through each step, but i've noticed they don't offer Tarot card templates to make a book set which is a shame.

Hello,

 

I have been looking around to find book publishers that can also produce Tarot decks, i found one called ''Vervante i think based in the USA that make books and Tarot decks - have anyone used their services or products.

I like what I see!:) adding it to our printer topic asap & posting on fb!:) will post here if I find any info!:)

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) now also offers printing paperbacks (as opposed to just ebooks). I wonder how it compares with CreateSpace, given that both are under Amazon. I do like the option to get an ISBN. I do wish there was a way to do this too with tarot decks.

Hi BlueToy

 

I have sent createspace a message asking if they would consider providing tarot templates for authors to make Tarot card/book sets- they seemed interested in the idea so hopefully in the near future this will be available.

 

Thanks Irena,  :)

np! always happy hearing about new pod!:)

 

BlueToy[/member] hopefully they will remember to add cards one day!:)

I did suggest they offered a card printing service on a survey they asked me to complete after the books were published, but as yet there's no sign of cards, either with or without a book. I think they will come eventually though - Amazon like to be players in so many markets I can't see them dismissing the idea without serious consideration.
