Title: Self Publishing PICTURE BOOKS
Post by: otto-bulut on October 05, 2021, 08:54 PM

Howdy! Can anyone direct me to a thread on self-publishing (POD) picture books specifically. It appears that the queries about PB POD are pushed over to the Self Publishing topic but there are some unique aspects of PB publishing. I like to think of PB's as art books and so am concerned with the quality and types of paper available for both page and cover. (Personally, I am looking for a heavy matte or low gloss paper.)
Anyone have any insights, suggestions or thoughts?
