A memoir or family history is often the most personal book someone will ever print. It may be written for children and grandchildren, for a family reunion, or to record a life before the details are lost. These books are read slowly, passed around and kept for decades, so binding and photo quality matter more than for most titles.
We print these books from 100 copies, in softcover, and courier them to Roodepoort. Our office in Fourways is close to the Honeydew side of Roodepoort if you want to come in and talk it through.
Printing for Roodepoort and the West Rand
Roodepoort stretches from Florida and Horison in the south to Strubensvallei, Wilgeheuwel and Ruimsig in the north-west. It is an established area with many long-standing families, and a good share of the books we print for it are life stories, family histories and community records, alongside novels and faith-based books.
If your book includes old family photographs, scan them at high resolution (300 dpi at the size they will be printed) rather than photographing them with a phone. Photos can be printed in a colour section or in black and white throughout, depending on budget. We can help plan a clear, durable softcover edition for family members.
