Your Roadmap to Crafting Your First Coffee Table Book
Creating your first coffee table book is an exciting journey. Follow this roadmap to bring your vision to life:
Step 1: Nail the Concept
Ask yourself what you want to achieve and who your target readers are. Consider themes, aesthetics, and budget to develop a killer concept.
Step 2: Craft the Content
Select high-quality images and engaging text that align with your theme. Organize your content to build a seamless narrative flow.
Step 3: Move on to Format and Layouts
Consider orientation, cover style, paper quality, and budget while choosing a format. Then start creating layouts with the smart use of whitespace, typography, and imagery.
Step 4: Print with Precision
Choose a reputable print service that offers high-quality printing and binding options. Review and edit your book carefully to ensure perfection.
Step 5: Set your Price and Promote it Right!
Estimate production costs and set a competitive price point for your book. Promote your book through online platforms, social media, and book clubs. Engage with readers, offer review copies, and attend book fairs to boost visibility and sales.
The term used to describe these books was "nonbooks" which later turned into "coffee table books."
Nonbooks or parlor books were collections of pictures, cartoons, and assorted anthologies meant more for show than deep reading. They added charm to parlors and were there for guests to casually flip through. This concept evolved into today's coffee table books.
