About us
One-stop shop
Have a Book is a one-stop shop for educational publishers & self-publishers —a professional place to produce and print top-quality books and convert them into e-books. For nearly 20 years, we’ve explored the particulars of printing, tackled typesetting, and become experts on bookmaking! Having finally amassed all our know-how, we entered the e-publishing market over 5 years ago.
Pre-Press and Print
Today Have a Book is a top-notch quality graphic design, typesetting, and printing service trusted by leading educational publishers in Norway, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and elsewhere! We’ve poured our hearts into this business, taking it far beyond a traditional enterprise by focusing on the individual needs of our partners. We foster long-term relationships with each and every client, growing together as we become more familiar with their wants, requests, and necessities.
E-Publishing
We’re committed to helping publishers simply and speedily transform printed publications, textbooks, and numerous other book types into e-books. Our specialised, high-end process easily automates and optimises content processing to quickly create quality e-books without a hitch!
