About YourBookPress
Founded in 2015, YourBookPress is an Austin, Texas based custom book printing service for authors, publishers, businesses, and schools in the United States and around the world. You choose the trim size, binding, paper, and finish. We check your files, print your book, and ship it to your door, whether you are in the US, Europe, Japan, or Australia.
Print on demand, with a human touch
Yes, we are a print on demand service: you can order a single copy with no minimum, no inventory, and no upfront print run. But we work differently from a fully automated pipeline. Many print on demand platforms run your file through the machine and ship whatever comes out, with nobody catching the missing bleed or the low resolution cover before it prints.
We add what a traditional book printer does. Our prepress team reviews every file before it goes to press. You also get a wider range of trims, bindings, papers, and premium finishes than most print on demand platforms offer. And because we are a printer, not a publisher, you keep 100 percent of your rights and your royalties. No exclusivity, no revenue share, no lock in.

Where your books are printed
YourBookPress is an Austin, Texas based company, and your books are printed and bound at one of our two production facilities, one in Mexico and one in India. Each order is produced at the facility best suited to its specifications, finishes, and current production capacity. This gives us both North American production capability and a broad manufacturing range, from single specialty copies to larger runs, with consistent quality across both sites.
Every order is inspected before it leaves the facility and travels to your door with tracking. Questions along the way go to a real person, by email or phone, every time.
