Special Information for Genealogies:

What is the optimal page layout for genealogies?
Be sure no printing of copy runs off the edges of the paper. Leave an inner margin of at least 3/4". Our sewing takes up 3/16". Leave a margin of 1/2" top, bottom and front.

What kind of paper should I use for my copies?
Most copy paper is cross-grained, which means when we bind it, the pages will not lie flat when you try to read the book, like this:

Using long grain paper will allow the pages of the book to lie flat, like this:

How can I obtain long-grain paper?
You can contact a paper company to order it, or a local printer. It’s not much more expensive than cross-grained paper, and it will be well worth it in the end. As much time as you’ve spent on your project, it’s worth it to do it right.

What if I want to bind my own books?
We are glad to supply free advice for those who would like to bind their own books. You can find most of your bookbinding supplies at www.ganebrothers.com. Call us with any questions.

What color of paper should I use for my copies?
White or cream paper produces a professional effect, although any color may be used.
