CAP Books, The Complete Author’s Program

If you're just getting started, our Complete Author's Program (CAP) is designed for you. With a CAP Book, you provide the stories over the phone and mail in your photos, and we take care of the rest. It’s easy, affordable, and it’s the best way to produce a book.

Discuss Your Project With An Editor

The best way to get started on your book is to talk it over with an editor. When you phone or email us, you’ll reach an experienced editor.

About Us: Why We’re Better

We’re proud to offer a unique service. (We invented the idea!). Learn about us, and how we serve authors.

Testimonials: Authors Share Their Experiences

Our authors come from all walks of life, and they’ve created very different books, but they have one thing in common – they think we’re wonderful! Read their testimonials.

how to purchase a CAP Book

Different authors have different goals, so we offer three Complete Author's Programs (CAP) so that you can customize your book to your needs. All CAP authors receive our full range of services from story ideas to print.

Prices are based on the number of hours of story recording and the number of photos included in the book. We can only estimate the number of pages that will result from your choices as you record stories. The number and size of the photos submitted, and your choices for the layout of the book will determine the number of pages.

Estimated Number of Pages

SILVER 35-45 pages estimated
GOLD 120-140 pages estimated
PLATIMNUM 240-280 pages estimated

SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM prices can be modified for your project needs. We offer discounts for digital submissions of text and/or images. You may also add optional services, such as additional recording time or additional photographs to your CAP package.
