Book Printing and Binding

We have been printing and binding books since the 1980s. Biblio produces books for authors, publishers and institutions in its own Columbus, Ohio facility — from coil-bound university manuals to perfect-bound novels and textbooks — quickly, and to a standard we can stand behind because we are the ones doing it.

We print on industry-leading Canon digital presses, on a wide range of premium papers, and bind by perfect binding, saddle stitching or coil.

If you are a Biblio author

Your first printing is part of publishing with Biblio Nova — there is nothing extra to arrange. After that, order copies from us whenever you need them, at author’s cost, and they are ready for pickup or shipping within days. There is never a minimum order.

If you are not

We will print your book too. If you are self-published, own an out-of-print title, or simply want copies of something you wrote, send us your files. If the original files are gone, we can make a high-resolution scan from a good printed copy. We furnish a proof first, then print as many as you need.

Options
