Custom Blue Books

Custom Blue Books are produced in the same professional way as our pre-printed Blue Books.  You enter your custom information into the Online Blue Book and all of your data is propagated through the entire book. 

When you select “Print my Custom Blue Book”, the data is gathered and sent to our production department in Bedford, New Hampshire.  They review the data to make sure that the output file was correctly generated and then enter the book(s) into the production process.  The production is handled the same way as our national Pre-Printed book. First the books are professionally printed and then they are sent to the bindery where the same cover as our national books where  the ultra-durable binding resins are applied to the books.  Once the bindery is finished they come back to our production department and  we do a final inspection.  The last step before shipping is the addition of the protective clear vinyl book cover.  The books get one last look over and packed before shipping to back to you.  The final product looks and feels the same as the national pre-printed Blue Books.

This total process takes 2-4 weeks depending on the volume of books in production. 

Can I order a Custom Blue Book without Subscribing to the Online Blue Book?
Yes.  You will need to call our office to order your printed Custom Blue Book.  We will need to schedule a time that we can set this book up for you and enter all of your selected  customizations.  Depending on the number of changes and additions you have for  your book, this can take a significant amount of time requiring  2-3 hours of your undivided attention .  Prior to the scheduled appointment we will email you a list of questions and things that you will need to think about and  answer so the process can be completed during this scheduled call.  

This process does have a higher setup fee , which  is incurred each time new custom books requiring changes are ordered.  If you are just reordering the exact book and only need additional copies with no changes there would be no additional setup charge. (Only the book printing charge would apply again)
