Should you select a book that is already in print, discounts begin with as few as 1 copy. We apply a sliding scale, with discounts increasing in proportion to the number of copies purchased. We can, of course, offer a higher discount on books published by Bibliotheca Culinaria as opposed to those we only distribute.

 

Post production personalization is yet another option You may commission a band or adhesive bearing your own logo to be applied to an existing book for promotional purposes. These techniques are subject to approval by the copyright holder and begin to be cost-efficient when applied to more than ???? copies.

 

Should you wish to commission a book specifically designed for your needs, production costs are such that anything less than ??? copies is not really feasible.

Yes, but success in the retail market will depend to a great degree on how the corporate presence is handled. In addition, because distribution costs are significant, it is important to decide from the outset if a book is destined for this market and budget accordingly.

 

Generally speaking, one year from the concept stage to printing, though some projects have been completed more quickly. Much depends on the photographic schedule, on whether the images must depict a seasonal aspect of production or follow a subject over a period of time.

 

To date we have also published books in English, German, French and Japanese. Over the years we’ve built sound relationships with translators specialized in the subjects of food and wine and are confident in their expertise.

 

Books are exempt from Italian sales tax (IVA) in base al D.L…..

 

Shipping costs are extra. Bulk shipping to a single destination is by far the most economic solution. However, Bibliotheca Culinaria is also equipped to handle single book shipment to the end user at competitive rates.
