Current Listing of Prices Paid by Publishing Partners for Printing and Production Services

The production of ELP books have various costs which include: 

1. ELP Costs for Typesetting / Setup: $30 setup plus $1.50 per page of local content (excluding advertising); setup fee includes dropping text and/or images on to the standard ELP cover. 

2. ELP Reimbursement: $.75 per book plus $10 per page for advertising for each edition of a particular book (for example, if 5 high schools were created in a community, that would constitute 5 editions for the purpose of calculating advertising reimbursements). The back cover is considered a single page of advertising.

3. Printing Costs: (Including national content): see below. Note: printing costs are billed directly to the Publishing Partner by the ELP-approved printer: Data Supplies, Inc. (DSI)

4. Corrections Made After Typesetting: If we make the error, it's no charge (of course). If you, the local publisher, have corrections after the typeset version has been read by a proofreader, the first 3 pages are changed at no charge, and the remaining corrected pages are $1.50 per page. Before printing, we'll fax corrected pages back to your for your approval.
