IHF Photo Book - Vol1
-
How can you set a budget if you don't know what you're budgeting for? Am I missing something here Dylan?
I'd feel pretty dumb approaching a printers or publishers and asking them to quote me for "a book", with no idea what type, size, pages, content etc… How can you get accurate costing?
No-one likes vegan refreshments....well no-one fun
Edit: Apart from which T&A has said twice that he will talk to his printers, so lets see what comes from that as a yardstick.
I printed a 72 page magazine DPI/quality, archival grade thick paper hard cover book, 1 off, using adoramapix recently, cost me $150USD. (size is 8x12)
I would be using ^ (that) as a yardstick, #pages, quality, size, and cover listed. It was retail pricing and a very high quality product/result.
I'm waiting for T&A's comments on what that looks like before proceeding further. Photographs are not in A4/A3/A5 sizing, Nor Legal or Letter sizes, they're in 8x12, 6x8 etc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_print_sizes) ,which is why I listed the sizing I did. I have Sidney's book, it's lovely, but every photo in there has been edited/cropped to fit A4, instead of as was shot.
Party wise, I was the DJ truth be known, now I sit in the corner reading my kindle with earplugs in. We're the craziest bunch this way

A coverstation with a local printer this morning has yielded a very reasonable unit price. I was extremely specific about quality requirements, number of pages (expected), cover and binding but to be absolutely sure I will visit them next Friday with a very nice quality book with I will use an the example of the expected standard.
More thrilling news on costing as it happens folks…

@snowy
i wouldn't.the book you did was printed digital i guess. we should do real print like offset.
if you print one book, it will be quite expensive. do 1000 and the price lowers significantly.
the size of the book is determined by the master concept behind it, not only by photo formats.

Honestly, I only made the call to the printers so you lot would shut up about bloody costings and steering the discussion away from anything fun
I am more than happy and confident that @trail and arrow will provide the yardstick, the design and the concept to suit.

Good News! Thanks to all involved!

How about a contest for the cover photo? Either way, this is fantastic.

Neither 'Denim Dudes' nor 'True Fit' should be used as guides for creating a denim book…
