Answers to frequently asked questions
What are options for printing and distributing my Quire publication?
Since Getty Publications is a full publishing house, we already have production and distribution built in. We do short-run digital printing for Quire books and publish in small quantities, between 100-400 units. This model has a higher price per unit but requires less upfront investment. The company we use for short-run digital printing is Integrated Books International (IBI), which supplies our distributor directly.

Amazon KDP
Sheridan
Bookmobile
Printing only
Open Access Publication Dissemination
Toth (metadata management, distribution, archiving, and DOI registration for open-access publications.)
