If you only need only some of our services for your black and white interior book, you can order those a la carte. Please keep in mind, however, that our At Your Service Publishing Package price may be less expensive even if you don’t require all of the services in that package. The process for our publishing packages is streamlined, which is why we can offer the publishing packages for less.
