SELF-PUBLISHING SERVICES
BOOK PRINTING
There is nothing more satisfying than holding in your hands a beautiful volume, your own book, your name, and your ideas ready to become the property of the readers around the world.
And, in a way, to "write" history, since this edition will forever be a reference point in all databases of published books. Especially, when the time comes to present it to your family, friends and acquaintances, colleagues, critics.
Other than the joy of your creation becoming a reality, a path will open up to you, for the financial gain from its sale. After all, this is always an obvious goal.
For all this, AKAKIA is here!
The value of the book depends on many factors, such as the shape, type of paper, whether it is black and white, color, book-binding, etc.
Since there are a number of parameters that affect it, you should contact us by filling in and sending the form of interest here to send you the corresponding offer immediately.
For authors, whether it is for their own use or any other form of personal distribution of their books, the prices we offer for printing books are excellent.
This is because AKAKIA has its own printing facilities and can transfer part of the production costs in favor of the author since there is no intermediary.
For each book produced and posted by AKAKIA, the author purchases at least 30 copies for personal use and own distribution (of which, some remain in stock in the warehouses of Akakia, 5 in Athens and 5 in London for immediate delivery of stock orders, which AKAKIA then replenishes).

Additional Features:
Due to the high-level digital technology we use, we have the ability to produce books in special personalized editions, e.g., if an organization wants to include its logo and funds the production, or if the books are to be presented at an anniversary event and a small text needs to be added, etc.
Therefore, a number of books can be produced for the author's personal use with a special text, outside the standard edition (in addition to the production cost of the books), for a one-time additional fee of 75€ Based on the production cost of the regular book.
