What Are the Available Print Book Sizes, Specifications, and Formats?

We offer multiple sizes and formats to suit your needs, including landscape, portrait, and square book sizes. When you create a standard print book, you’ll be able to select from any of our binding options, page sizes, and cover types.

How Should I Prepare My Print Book Files?

The best place to start is our Publishing Basics article. There we’ll outline everything involved in preparing your files and using Lulu to publish your project.

Also, see Lulu’s articles on formatting your interior file. You can upload a PDF cover file or use Lulu’s Cover Tool to create your cover.

How Long Does It Take to Print & Ship My Book?

All printers across Lulu’s global network have a production of 3-5 business days, but your shopping cart will display the estimated production time specific to your order.

Business days are Monday - Friday, and the first printing day is the day after the order is placed. For example, an order placed on a Monday will be sent to the printer by Tuesday and is expected to print between Thursday (day 3) and the following Monday (day 5).
