Can I sell the G-Books you make for me in the online G-Books Store?

Can I make graphical e-books myself and sell them using the G-Book® name? Will you sell them in the online Store?

We think you'll prefer the new, graphical e-book experience ...

... because books are more than just their words!

G-Books are especially valuable for rare, antiquarian, out-of-print, first edition, and collectible books. These are the books, magazines, and ephemera that you want to collect and read just as they were originally designed.

With G-Books you experience

the dust jacket art (spine, front/back, flaps) when available;

the spine, front, and back cover, and endpapers of the book;

every page (even the blank ones!), just as originally bound;

the frontispiece and all other book art and graphical elements;

the text in its original typeface, just as it was laid out in the original, including the broken type and printers errors that distinguish one collectible edition from another.

Visit our store to browse or buy a G-Book, or download a sample and test the G-Book experience for yourself.
