I am in the final stages of preparing a family history book using Family Tree Maker 2006. I would estimate that the completed book will comprise 200 pages of A4 - the book is a mixture of text and pictures. Does anyone have experience of having a family tree book professionally printed? I doubt that I will require more than 30 copies. In particular I would be interested to understand: 1. Precisely what format will a professional printer require me to present the book to him, and will he need to have the FTM program on his system? 2. Is A4 the best size for the finished book? 3. Is there likely to be a large cost difference in having the book printed in colour? 4. What facts do those who have published their books wish they had known before they handed the copy to the printer? Any help would be appreciated. Brian Beanland
