For short runs & single books we set type using typefaces listed below. If a book already has printing, or embossed lettering, it is unlikely that we will be able to exactly match the pre-existing type with your custom type. However we can match pre-existing type with a complementairy typeface that will look attractive.
Typefaces for Short Run Personalization
1-24 Pieces and 1-2 Day Turnaround

Notes: All sales of customized, personalized, or special order books are final. No returns for unwanted customized, personalized, or special order items with be accepted. Please choose your item and personalization text carefully!
Once your personalized order has been submitted, please periodically monitor the email address you give us during the checkout process until you receive an email saying your product has shipped. We do, on a fairly frequent basis, have questions about or suggest changes for your personalization text. While we can't be responsible for checking your text for you, we will point out anything we do notice that may be a spelling or other mistake. In the event of a question, we will stop the personalization process and attempt to contact you. We will not proceed with your order in most cases until we hear back from you. To avoid delays check your email, and your SPAM filter box often until you get a message that your order has been shipped. We use email as a way of verifying text and asking most product related questions as it is less prone to human error than telephone communications.
