Question 1

What is the minimum order for book printing?

Accepted Answer

50 copies for every standard SKU — novels, hardcovers, textbooks, comics, children's books. That's where our offset press economics actually work. Below 50, per-book setup costs spike, so we route those orders to a separate Sample Pack tier (1, 5, 10, 25 copies, flat retail with shipping bundled). Volume discounts compound from 100+ through 1,000+.

Question 2

How much does it cost to print a book?

Accepted Answer

A 200-page paperback novel runs ~$2.20/copy at 1,000+, ~$3.10/copy at 250, and ~$4.20/copy at 100. Hardcovers run roughly 25% above paperback at the same tier. Children's full-color books add ~₹2.50/page on top. Free shipping at 50+. The live calculator on bookprinter.app gives the real number for your spec in 10 seconds, with shipping itemized — no hidden charges.

Question 3

Does BookPrinter ship to India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BookPrinter ships to India with competitive local rates. Also ships to USA, Canada, Australia, UK, NZ, and 80+ countries. Standard delivery 3-10 days.

Question 4

Do I need an ISBN to print my book?

Accepted Answer

No. ISBN not required for personal or institutional copies. Only needed for retail distribution.

Question 5

Is there a setup fee?

Accepted Answer

$0 setup on every standard SKU at 50+ copies. Premium quote-only SKUs (coffee-table hardcover, magazine, real-estate portfolio) carry transparent setup fees shown up-front. Below 50 copies, the Sample Pack tier rolls setup + shipping into a flat retail price.

Question 6

Can BookPrinter ship books direct to my readers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can order copies for yourself, OR set up direct-to-reader fulfillment — when a reader buys, we print the book and ship it to their door via global delivery networks. You set the price, you keep every dollar after print + fulfillment cost. No royalty cut.
