Specialist typesetting for books that refuse to behave: heavy image layouts, tables, equations, musical notation, verse, bilingual columns and indexes.
Not every book is a straight run of prose. Recipes need ingredient columns that never split across a page. Textbooks need numbered figures, cross-references and a working index. Poetry needs line breaks the poet actually chose to survive reflow.
We build these titles page by page rather than pouring text into a template, with a style sheet documented so future editions stay consistent.
Where a title needs both a fixed-layout digital edition and a print edition, we produce them as a matched pair.
