Optionally, select text positioning via radio buttons or select none and let us select a position for you.
If you want to decide the placement, some basic rules of thumb are:
-The most common positions, by far, are Front Top Center and Front Bottom Right.
-Dead Center positions, either on front or back of a book, are seldom used except for large logos.
-Symmetry is important; the larger the item the greater the need for balance.
-The back position is usually Lower Center.
-Items on the back must have a lower relative weight as compared to the front--or the book will not seem right.

| Front, Top Center Position: often the best place to put large text. The upper quarter of a book's front cover is traditionally where a title lives. When the text is not title like, in context or by design, it may be problematic here. |
Front, Dead Center Position: above, a symmetrical diamond shaped logo fits with the heavy gold corner braces. A square or horizontal logo would likely not work well here. A knowledgeable artist can design a logo to fit any book or select a book to fit an already designed graphic. We have decades of experience creating logos and selecting books. |

| Front, Bottom Right Position: on this book, a name looks good top center, and initials look best, as shown, in the lower right position. |
Back: small, unobtrusive, poignant, usually in the bottom third. Rules are made to be broken--but it has got to look appealing--it is, after all, the final word(!). |
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.
