A list of premade print cover sites

After following the amazing thread of Bethany B. for premade covers (Here if you want general premade ebook covers http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,148623.0.html) I loved it, except for one thing.

Not everyone does print, and a lot of sites you either have to email or ask about it. Point is, it takes awhile to investigate each site to find that golden nugget. So I made a list of sites that I have found information about print covers, or that I have worked with before (so I know they have print covers.)

If you know for a fact you want a print cover with an ebook cover premade, I hope this list helps you save some time.

These sites are of course, all different. Some only provide front print covers, while other may add a back and spine. Some will cost extra, and some will come free with the ebook. Be sure if you are getting a print cover, that the text isn't too close to the edge if you are using createspace. (.125" I believe)

If your site isn't here, and you offer print covers for your premades, please let me know and I'll add you to my handy dandy list. ;D

My favorites (I have bought a premade for print with them before.)

Others who I have found info on their own site somewhere, and/or emailed to inquire:

It seems to me that it would be difficult to have true "pre-made" print covers, as they will vary depending on the print book's length and trim size (and interior paper color).

I do print covers all the time, and if anyone ever wanted to get one of my pre-mades and add a wraparound to it for an additional fee, that would be easy enough. I still wouldn't think of it as a true pre-made, though, since I wouldn't be able to put together the wraparound until I had all the information to alter it to fit that particular project.

If an artist can work with an author to get a premade turned into print, that's all I need to know. I will add you to the list.:)
