    We have seen our Book Sales multiply by at least 10 times with different fonts on the book cover. Thank you for this video, it is very important for all publishers. 🚀

    Thanks for all of your great content! Do you need to purchase a commercial license to use “Futura” font in KDP books, or is a license included in whatever software program you are using?

    • @paulmarles
      @paulmarles  Год назад +2

      If it's not included in your software and you have to get the font of a third party site then you would need the commercial license.

    Thank you Paul but please I have this issue, my book has been rejected 4 times now with messages like this :
    Add 0.125" (3.2 mm) to your book's page width and 0.25" (6.4 mm) to the page height to ensure that the images in your manuscript extend beyond the edge of the page. Once you have added the size, extend any images or backgrounds that you want to reach all the way to the edge of the page 0.125” (3.2 mm) beyond the trim line. This prevents manufacturing issues when the file is trimmed to size. See examples PDF page(s) 2, 4, 6, 28, 30, 32, 34, 56, 58.
