Common questions
How much does it cost to print a children's book?
Printing starts at $30.99 per copy for a single book, plus shipping. The exact price depends on the binding, page count, cover finish and how many copies you order — the calculator on this page shows the real figure for any combination.
Why does the price stay the same when I add a few pages?
Printing is priced in page brackets rather than per page, because the bindery charges by band. Adding pages inside your current bracket costs nothing extra, and crossing into the next one steps the price up. You can view the page brackets in the detailed pricing section below.
Is shipping included in the price?
No — shipping is charged separately and depends on where the book is going and how fast you want it. We currently ship to Germany and United States. The calculator shows the shipping estimate for your destination; the exact amount is confirmed by the carrier at checkout.
Are these prices what I actually pay?
Yes. The book price shown is the price charged at checkout — it comes from the same price table the order does, not from an estimate. Sales tax, where it applies, is added at checkout. Shipping is the one figure that can move, because it is confirmed against a live carrier quote for your address.
Do I need an account to see prices?
No. This page is open to everyone, with no sign-up and no card required. You only need an account when you want to save a book or place an order.
How long can a book be?
A paperback can be between 32 and 800 pages. Each binding has its own limits and its own page increment — a bindery that works in fours can't make a book with an odd number of pages — and the calculator only lets you pick lengths that can actually be made.
Do members get a discount on printing?
Yes. Active membership plans include up to 18% off printed books, applied automatically at checkout. You do not need a membership to order books at standard prices.
