Printing

Do you want printed books?

After you have self-published your book, you may want to print your book. Nothing feels better than the feel of paper between your fingers as you peruse through your book and the smell of wood as you read.

We offer affordable book printing prices, printed in Kenya. We print a minimum of 30 copies up to 300 copies on digital printers; for Multiple Order Quantities (MOQ) above 300 copies, we use offset printing at highly discounted prices. Mystery Publishers is your best choice for efficient, premium-quality book printing at a relatively low cost; contact us for bulk printing.

Printing cost per copy is based on the number of pages and the copies ordered; the more the copies, the less the unit cost per unit.
