Last updated: October 9, 2026
You have two routes. Order small numbers at print cost plus shipping through your own KDP account, or have Columbia Publication print anywhere from 100 to 250,000+ copies for events, clients or bulk sales.
What does a copy cost through KDP?
For a black-and-white paperback, KDP's printing cost is $1.00 plus $0.012 per page, so a 300-page book costs $4.60 a copy before shipping.
When is a print run better?
For launches, events, client gifts or a hard delivery date. Print runs come with a free digital proof, and nothing prints until you approve it. Authority Plus includes 15 printed copies. Book printing services
