Hi, I'm planning to self-publish a book about fairground art. It's aimed at designers, ad-folk and other professional creatives (as well as funfair enthusiasts, of which there are many). So the book needs to be a decent size, both to present the images at their best and make it feel part of the art book family.
I plan to take the litho print route and work with a designer colleague on the layout, but I've had conflicting information about sizing. "Printers/bookshops don't like landscape", "Crown 246x189mm is best because of cost" etc.
I'm struggling to make sense of the options and with most publishing resources focussed on books outside this art/photography/design category, I'm a bit stuck. So I really hope I can get some feedback here and maybe send a synopsis with key images to anyone with a professional interest in getting involved.
I look forward to your response.
Nigel
