Virtualbookworm can now set up your book in full color as either a softcover or hardcover. That's right, authors of children's books, picture books and graphic novels can now take advantage of Print-on-Demand technology!

We can now produce full-color books at many different trim sizes (please see chart) The entire book does need to be produced using this process, so unfortunately we're not able to insert these pages into the traditional POD packages.

Please note this page is only for full-color books. If your book has a black-and-white interior, please look at our hardcover packages and our softcover packages.

And if you truly want to have your book available in as many formats as possible, you may want to consider our electronic publishing package as well!

Included in all Color Packages:

• Softcover or Hardcover available on white paper. Click here to see available trim sizes.
