Design & Layout
Every book we produce is unique. We never use templates. When working on the design we try to reflect the period of the text and the personal tastes of the author. After discussing ideas with you we produce a number of possibilities for you to choose from.
Here are some examples;
This family history is elegantly bound in slate-green book cloth with hand marbled end papers.
All our paperback editions have individually designed covers using your photographs as illustrations. For ‘China Revisited’ we superimposed one photograph onto another.
This was a tiny memoir, not really long enough for a book, so we set and bound it as a modern version of a Victorian pocket book. It’s only 6 x 4 inches.
Have just received the books. They are lovely!!! Thank you very much for everything.

Brian Cooke, the writer of many famous sitcoms, including George and Mildred, is also a well-loved cartoonist. I am delighted with my LifeLines editions. Their work is more a labour of love than a business transaction. Brian Cooke
The children and grandchildren are delighted with their books, and were caught completely by surprise!Mike Courtenay
Sue Moore is a tireless fundraiser for the Parkinsons’ Society and wanted to get her memoir printed before undergoing major brain surgery. Her courageous book has done much to raise awareness both of the disease and possible treatments. Her operation was successful.
LifeLines transformed my short autobiography into a book of which I am immensely proud. There are insufficient words to express my satisfaction.

Travelogues give scope for more creative layouts. Like the Safari Journal, they can be mostly pictures with captions, or they can be text based manuscripts with photographs and illustrations inserted.
