Printing and Typesetting Services
Are you considering
having a song or story typeset?
publishing a songbook?
having a book printed which you have written?
reprinting an old classic?
buying customized birthday calendars for your church or your family?
Are you wondering how you would market your book? We may be able to help you!
Typesetting
Deuts¡e Bu¡staben se|en
Do you have a book, or just a few
pages that you would like to have
typeset in an attractive format?
We offer to typeset your German manuscript and proofread the manuscript for spelling and grammatical errors.
We can typeset your copy from
handwritten manuscripts or scan
your typed copy into the computer.
You may also send us your computer file on a disc or by email.
We will proofread your copy for spelling, punctuation
and grammatical errors, and format the finished product
using the type styles and sizes of your choice.
Music Typesetting
Do you have a song, or a collection of songs that you
would like to have typeset? We can . . .
. . . typeset your song(s) for you in a clear, readable format.
. . . give each song two proofreadings to catch as many
mistakes as possible.
. . . edit the timing and harmony of the song, if you wish, or
even add four-part harmony to the song, if you request it.
. . . typeset a shaped note copy from a round note original,
or vice versa.
We can provide you with a copy in Fraktur or Roman
style, or both.
Songbooks
Are you considering publishing a songbook? We would
be glad to help you . . .
. . . choose the type and style
of book to use. If you are
compiling a church hymnal,
you may choose a larger book
with a hard cover. If you are
compiling a school songbook,
you may choose a smaller,
more inexpensive book, with
a soft cover.
. . . arrange your songs in the
book, grouped by topic and
size.
. . . search for songs of unknown origin to determine copyright status. By searching on the Internet, and checking
our song index file, most songs can be located.
. . . obtain permission for use of copyrighted songs. You
may choose to do this yourself. If you prefer, we will do
it for you.
. . . typeset the songs, prepare the title pages and the index.
From our database, we can generate an index of titles and
first lines.

Storybooks
Cookbooks
Have you written a story that
you would like to share with
the world?
Are you interested in compiling
a cookbook? We can help you . . .
We are ready to help you edit
your story for grammar,
punctuation and spelling.
An attractive cover is very important today. Using your
ideas, we will work together
to design a cover, till everyone is satisfied!
We will help you choose a suitable typestyle for the book.
The typestyle needs to lend itself for easy reading. By
trying a few styles and sizes, and sending you samples, we
will find the style that suits your book the best.
You can include pictures in the book, if desired. Books for
younger children may include some pictures or sketches.
This should be discussed beforehand, so the pictures can
be drawn in a way to bring the best results.
Reprints
Many old classics are hiding in dark and dusty bookshelves.
Do you have one that you would like to see back in print?
We can help you . . .
. . . determine the copyright status of the work. Any book
from 1923 or later may still
be copyrighted in the USA.
If the book is copyrighted,
permission will need to be
obtained before printing.
. . . decide whether to use the
book as is, or to retypeset the
book. If the copy is clear, the
book can be photographed
and used as is. Often it is
preferable to retypeset the
book and get a clearer, more
easily readable copy.
. . . edit the book, if necessary. Sometimes the book needs
to be edited to make it more understandable for today’s
reader. If there are objectionable phrases or comments in
the book, these can also be removed.
. . . compile the cookbook. Recipes
will need to be grouped into
categories and an index made.
. . . design the style of the cookbook, from adding tabs which make
it easy to find the various sections,
to choosing the type of cover.
. . . choose the binding. Spiral bound cookbooks are the
most popular, as they will lay flat on the counter, though
hardcover books may be more durable.
Marketing Your Book
If we print your book, and it qualifies for catalog sales:
We will sell your book through our catalog to bookstores
and individuals at no additional charge.
We can also help you get the word out by:

Thank You!
Catalog of Books
A special Thank You to all customers who have done business with us in the last year. We look forward to serving
you in the coming year!
Our Goal - To Provide Quality, Character-Building Reading Material
Are you concerned about the quality of books you buy for your home or bookstore? Are you also finding out
that you just don’t have the time to review all the books you buy? Be assured that all the books that we sell have
been carefully reviewed for quality content before being accepted into our catalog. Around half the books don’t
“make the grade”. However, the good news is that there are still enough “good” books around to keep even the most
avid reader going for a long time!
All religious songs included in songbooks we have published must have sound spiritual content, with a tune that
complements the message and is reasonably easy to learn and sing. Secular songs are included in songbooks designed
for school or home singing. All songbooks listed use shaped notes.
Over 175 New Titles!
Our 2009 catalog contains over 1450 titles (including
about 330 books advertised in our Fall ’07 new book minicatalog). Our new titles include 36 books which have been
newly published in the last year. Price and availability subject to change without notice. Though prices continue to
change, the biggest reason for fluctuation is the difference
in exchange between the US and Canadian dollar.
Note to Proofreaders
Some books by other publishers may express beliefs or
contain incidents or expressions we do not appreciate. We
accept some minor negative points if we feel that the overall effect of reading the book will be positive.
The following codes, preceded by “R:” in the review will
alert you to some of these points:
LG - Unacceptable language
VL - Violence
LY - Lying, deceit or dishonesty
RC - Romance
FT - False Teaching (evolution, etc.)
Grade Levels
Grade levels listed are guidelines only, as reading abilities
differ greatly from one child to another. (Many grownups
still enjoy children’s books!) Lower grades: 1 to 3; Middle
grades: 4 to 6; Upper grades: 7 to 9.

Christmas Orders
If you want your books for Christmas, have your order
at our office by early December. Orders by mail need to be

received, but for best results, order early!
Note to Bookstores
Special discounts are given to bookstores. A wholesale
order form and discount schedule is available upon request
if you do not have one.
The code PVP by the price indicates a PrairieView Press
publication. Ptd indicates a book where we have handled
the printing. Asterisks (**) are discount codes for bookstores.
See Wholesale Order Form.
Regarding Use of Book Reviews
Most of the book reviews have been written by
PrairieView Press and we request that anyone desiring to
use these reviews in their catalog or flyer contact us first.
