Connect the artwork with the book you intend to publish. If materials or construction remain undecided, describe the result you want; do not select a specification simply to complete the inquiry.
Please include:
- The type of publication, intended viewing experience and the finished format you are considering.
- Page extent and a representative selection of spreads, including images that raise particular reproduction questions.
- Any physical color reference, with a clear explanation of the appearance priorities for proof review.
- Paper preferences and the reasons for them, including surface, opacity or tactile character where relevant.
- The required opening behavior and any layout area that depends on the way the book is bound.
- Cover materials and finishing requirements, or the appearance you want reviewed.
- Quantity, edition differences and any separate printed components.
- Packing, identification, destination and timing requirements, including any particular concern about finished surfaces.
For an earlier book supplied as a reference, identify the features to discuss. Paper, construction and printed appearance may raise separate questions. Distinguish them so the new publication can be reviewed against its own specification.
