Perform due diligence in researching your publishing options as hard cover books are generally 3 times more expensive to produce than their soft back counterparts. A soft cover book that is 100 pages in volume, and 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches in actual physical size, and printed in black and white costs about $5.30 (U.S. dollars) per book to produce; whereas a hard back that has the same volume and physical size, printed in black and white runs about $17.50 (U.S. dollars) per book to publish.
Log on to the web site of the publisher that you chose and create a free user name and password to regularly manage your activities and monitor the publishing of your hardcover book at every phase of production.
Pick one of the two industry standard binding types for your book--either a jacket hard cover or a case wrap cover.
Choose a working title for your hard back and upload your content files, including text, images and the design for the front and back of the hard cover, to the publishing website you have chosen following the simple step-by-step instructions from that website.
Get your original hardcover copyrighted on line at copyright.gov before you market and distribute it so that your work can not be legally duplicated.
Set the final sale price of your hardback based upon what other hardbacks of similar quality, physical size and volume are retailing for, as hardback books are expensive to produce and therefore command a high price.
