Brochure FAQ
Brochures are essentially coverless books. The process for publishing a brochure is the same as publishing a standard "covered" book, except there is no cover step in the publishing wizard.
Lulu offers two trim sizes for brochures: 8.5" x 11" (1-20 pages) and 6.5" x 9" (1-16 pages).
For brochures with 1-2 pages, the printed product is a single sheet of paper with printing on one or both sides. For brochures with more than 2 pages, the printed product is saddle stitched. All saddle-stitched brochures must have a page count divisible by 4. If they do not, the printer adds enough blank pages to the back of your brochure to make its page count divisible by 4.

Can I choose black & white printing for my brochure?
No, only full color printing is available for brochures. You may, however, upload black & white images and text if you do not want your brochure to be printed in color. There will be no discount for uploading a black & white file instead of a color one.
