How to Design a Book

When writing a book, having the proper book design is almost important as the text written on its pages. From book layout design like page structure and page breaks to size of text, style of spine binding, and book covers, each element plays an important role in the book’s formation. Primrose Hill Press is proud to offer resources to take out some of the guesswork in your book writing project by providing a fine selection of detailed and instruction books on book design and style.
