Introduction to Custombook™

Over one thousand churches throughout the country have taken advantage of the Custombook™ program, which provides every family in the church with a beautiful keepsake edition for their own library.

The publication of such a book can achieve many objectives, each focusing on a special purpose. A Custombook™ edition will:

- Preserve your church's history and heritage for present and future generations.
- Recognize the accomplishments of today's active church members and clergy.

- Stimulate interest in church organizations and activities.
- Become an invaluable introduction to new members.
- Become an important income source through a proven sponsorship plan, if desired.

And through our unique, under-one-roof program, your Custombook™ limited edition can be prepared with very little work on your part. We do the work for you, leaving only the task of approving each step of the project as it progresses. In short, Custombook™ becomes your parish publisher.

What We Do

Here are some of the major steps we'll take in preparing your Custombook™ special edition:

1. Where editorial information is lacking, we will, if you wish, help your gather pertinent data relative to the story of your church. Otherwise we can skillfully compile, write and edit the material you provide, according to the emphasis you have chosen, and submit it for your approval. Our skilled and experienced editors and trained staff of writers and historians assure you of an interesting and accurate volume.

2. We will reproduce all of your high quality black and white photos and documents, and take high quality color photographs of your church to include in the book. We use the latest digital technology and often use digital photographs as well.

3. We will provide professional design and layout services that result in a book that you will display with pride.

4. Our promotion and publicity services will help to assure the success of your edition. Major libraries are sent complimentary copies and your edition will be catalogued and place in the Library of Congress.

5. We can prepare and maintain a website for your church, which will contain the information included in your Custombook(tm). On this website we can provide free links to your sponsors' websites.

6. Most important, we will prepare a Custombook™ edition that reflects your church. As our name implies, your book will be a custom publication that provides an individual record of your church's dynamic history.
