How to prepare a new book?

• Have an original document, not a copy.
• Contact us to make an assessment. If everything seems OK, then you will need to:
• Digitalize (scan) the pages at 300 dpi, jpeg format.
  • Use grayscale for text and B&W image.
  • Descreen image to avoid moiré effect.
  • Set precisely the picture upright.
• Perform optical character recognation (OCR) provided you have an efficient software. Check spelling and grammar carefully because OCR softwares are not very reliable on that point.
• Start processing a few pages only for preliminary tests.
• Send us these few pages: biblio2@cactuspro.com

• If you have not this type of software, we could do the job (We don't know when…)

• You work for glory exclusively. As long as your work is available from Cactuspro, you contract not to ask for any counterpart (freeware!). If you desire a counterpart (shareware) you will need to find another hosting site.
• The work is free of rights.
  • This is generally the case when the author died more than 70 years ago. However, it is customary to contact the interested parties (author family, editor).
  • If necessary, you will have to look for these interested parties and ask for a written authorization.
