Google Book Search, a program created by Google, the most popular search engine, is an online book marketing program enabling authors and publishers put their books in front of their potential customers by making a limited number of book pages (optional) visible to readers accessing the Google Books program. Google Books ‘matches’ appropriate user searches with your book after analyzing the content of your book, after which the reader can reach your book via a page hosted by Google Book Search. The author, continue to retain ALL rights to the book / manuscript as the Google Book Search program never takes away the copyright or any other rights the author may hold. Google Book Search ensures more sales of your book, as well as more traffic to your web site. Click here to go directly to the Google Book Search page for authors.

We at ORANGE have a complex formula to determine the Minimum Cover Price of a book. The number of pages in the final printed book as well as the word-count of the manuscript helps derive the Minimum Cover Price. Usually, 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches printed page of an average book can accommodate approx 325 words per page (assuming 10 point font size, no tables, charts of images). If there are additional tables, charts, drawing objects, images, textboxes etc. then that will result in more pages in your book. For example, in a manuscript of 135,000 words where the estimated word count is 450 words per page in 300 A4 size pages, the book would have 415 pages, excluding charts, tables etc. Now, if the manuscript has 100 images – with each image taking up one full page – then that would expand the book to 515 pages in total. The Minimum Cover Price of your book will be determined by us accordingly. However, if you feel, you reserve the right to revise/decide on the Cover Price of your book to any figure above the Minimum Cover Price fixed by Orange Publishers. We define this as Flexible Book Cover Pricing.

We offer various types of Additional Cover Beautification as optional add-on services, e.g.,:

• Embossed Lettering – raised impression of letters against the background of the cover design.
• Spot-UV coating – Create a glossy appearance on a certain selected area on the cover design while the remaining areas are covered by matt-finish lamination, thus protecting the printed surface underneath from moisture and other types of damage.
• Golden/Silver inking – printing letters direct on the cover design using metallic ink of gold/silver colour. Gold ink is made from bronze powder and the silver ink from aluminium powder or paste.

Even though our team of cover design artists are really good at their work, the finalised cover design must be approved by you in writing (via email) before going to print. During this stage you might want to make certain changes (“rework”) to refine and finalise the cover design of your book, with a limit to how many times a cover design can be reworked. The details for free rounds of reworks are as below –

• Jasmine supports 2 free rounds of rework.
• Lotus supports 3 free rounds of reworks.

After these free rounds there will be an extra charge for a new cover design, to get another free round of rework. In case your basic idea of the cover design needs to be changed and started afresh from scratch, that will be considered as a new cover design.

Extra charges for another round of rework: INR 1000.00 / BDT 1300.00 / US$ 20.00

Extra charges for starting new cover design, starting afresh: INR 1300.00 / BDT 1700.00 / US$ 28.00

• For (B/w) – there will be a charge of INR 800.00 / BDT 1200.00 / US$ 18.00 for each illustration.
• For colour – there will be a charge of INR 1300.00 / BDT 1700.00 / US$ 28.00 for each illustration.

It is one matter to print a book by yourself, but getting it published with a total package of editorial, design, sales, marketing and distribution support are quite different. Below is a comparative study between ORANGE PUBLISHERS and your local press:

Your Local Printing Press/Printing Your Book Yourself:

• Local printing presses will just print your book for you. They will not help you with the editorial, design and illustration requirements or selling or marketing the book.
• Local printing presses will not assign any ISBN for your book. Without an ISBN, you will never be able to sell or enlist your book in any marketplace.
• They will deliver you your order of all the printed copies of your book, which is most often a truckload that will occupy your living space, adding to your frustration.
• Local press will give you one-time service and they will not offer after sales service.
• Promoting, selling and distributing your book after the printing is over is an uphill task requiring specialized skill, experience and network.

Publishing your book with ORANGE PUBLISHERS:

• ORANGE PUBLISHERS will publish your book with an internationally valid ISBN, so that your book is ready to be marketed & sold anywhere in the world!
• ORANGE PUBLISHERS provides you a complete package of editing, designing, illustrations, printing, marketing, distribution/selling and even facilitating book review in leading newspapers and book-review sites at a very reasonable charge.
• ORANGE PUBLISHERS also offers flexibility to choose the package according to your pocket.

• ORANGE PUBLISHERS also offers search engine optimization service (offered with certain packages) that helps you get noticed by readers
• ORANGE PUBLISHERS offers total accountability for payment of royalty, support forever, registration of copyright, marketing support, editorial support, selling of books, website creation support and distribution support.
• ORANGE PUBLISHERS are the best option if you want to custom publish your book.
• You can count on us to get your book customized yet well marketed in safe hands without compromising your ambition, direction and vision.

You can organize your own event for your book launching though a book launching event / program / function / ceremony organized by you. This should be communicated to us (the publisher) and our advice about the date and venue for such an event should be taken. There should be at least a 10 days prior notice from the expected publication date and the actual event / ceremony date, in order to avoid a last minute rush for a hurried publication. It would be best if you announced the launching event date after you received your complimentary copies in your hand. In case you want help in arranging such a launch event, please let us know well in advance.

IMPORTANT : Please note, that we are not obligated to send additional copies to the venue/bookstore for the launch event on credit. If we supply the extra copies of the printed book to such venue/bookstore directly, then the price of additional copies have to be paid in advance, less the standard author’s discount. Alternatively, you may give the bookstore (which is the venue of your launch event) copies for the event from your complementary copies. Requisition of additional copies for the launch event has to be communicated to us well in advance in order to ensure smooth operations.

Royalty is accrued on book sales in the market. Your royalty is already given to you as part of the ‘Author’s Discount’ for extra copies you order directly from us.

Your manuscript and cover design are sent to the printing press immediately on your approval by email.

3. Send the photo to us as evidence. As soon as we receive your communication,

We shall immediately take up the issue with the courier service, and make arrangements to send you a new set of books in a fresh parcel.

Our editorial team will investigate the issue and if it is found that the printed portion has your prior approval, then we cannot help you there. However, if significant difference is found between what has been printed or bound and what you had approved; or the pages are in wrong order due to a book-binding issue, we shall take complete responsibility.
