Our books are published in a standard hardback size which the publishing trade call ‘B format’ — you'll see plenty in bookshops.

Cover size:   8.25” x 5.25”  (208 x 138 mm)

Spine width: Approximately half an inch

A Locket Book of 12,000 words and up to 30 images results in a length of approximately 100 numbered pages. 

Your images can be black and white, or colour. We place them carefully throughout the book at appropriate places within the narrative, rather than in blocks.

Inside all books, you will find design features such as drop capitals, running heads at the top of each chapter and appealing script fonts.

We offer the choice of two interiors for your book: traditional, black and white chapter pages, or full colour chapter pages — with a choice of colours. See our sample chapters to look at each.  You can also choose your own finishing touches - see below.

We discuss and design a bespoke cover for each client. Some people like a photograph on the front, others prefer a typographical cover. The choice is yours.

A Locket Book is finished to the highest standard with marbled endpapers matched to your cover design, a soft-touch laminate cover, a ribbon bookmark, and gold or silver foil highlights on the cover.
