When your book is complete, you can purchase printed copies from the Apple print vendor for a fee. Note: Although you can create books larger than 99 pages, there is a 99-page limit for books ordered through the Apple print vendor. When you try to order a book larger than 99 pages, a dialog warns you that there are too many pages. If you plan to print a book using the Apple print vendor, make sure to keep the number of pages at or below the 99-page limit. If you prefer to print your books yourself, you can print your book using your own office printer or export your book as a PDF file that you can send to a print shop for printing. Planning Your Book The amount of planning and work involved in creating a book varies with the type of project. If you're creating wedding photo albums, you may be primarily concerned with creating a reusable book design into which you can quickly place images that tell the wedding story. The end result may be one or several printed copies per project. On the other hand, producing a large book, such as a coffee table book, may require a good deal of planning, writing, design, page composition, proofing, and production work. In addition, you'll want to look ahead and decide how the manuscript should be printed and bound, the number of copies for the print run, and what copyright and permissions information your book should include.
