Welcome to Book Production Consultants - 35 years this year

BPC produces magazines (both contract and mass market), short run books (as print on demand), long run books (produced throughout the world) and gift editions, DVDs, CDs. Exclusive fine print, exhibition catalogues, on-pack supermarket promotions, guidebooks and business histories.

Based in Cambridge and London, we manage all aspects of a project, from concept to completion. Our project managers, designers and editors provide a team that works for you, with just a phone call or email to have full support whenever needed.

To produce a book you need a designer, a typesetter, a printer and a binder. Add editing, proofreading, translation, picture research, indexing and materials will need purchasing. You need buying power to get the best manufacturing prices anywhere in the world and you need experience to know which supplier to use and at what price. Also needed is an experienced project manager to keep all stages on schedule and control the printer and binder, making sure that the project arrives on time.

You can pick and choose the BPC services which suit you. We can commission authors, handle translations in any language, sell foreign rights, buy rights on behalf of clients (e.g. existing partworks from the UK or abroad to make into books) and arrange for publicity and promotion.

Thirty-five years ago, we were the first company to offer all the services needed under one roof, from one telephone call. We uniquely filled a gap in the market. We were and are needed. Even more so today with such rapidly changing technology.

Most of our clients, sooner or later, come back. They enjoy working with us. Getting the best doesn't have to mean stress and strain. It just means getting BPC.
