Adult Content Book Printing
Adult content book printing, handled professionally and discreetly in our own Exeter bindery.
Erotic fiction, adult comics, art and photography books, with paper and finishes chosen in the calculator. Paperbacks start at 10 copies and hardbacks at 25, with a free digital proof. We check files and content requirements before accepting a job. Discreet outer packaging does not identify the book or its contents; normal delivery labels and sender details still apply.
1 Book size and shape
B-format and A5 lead for fiction, with every standard trim and any size to the millimetre. Portrait, landscape or square.
2 Cover and binding
Perfect bound with a matt laminated cover as standard; thread-sewn or a hardback for a collected edition, with foil or spot UV.
3 Paper for the pages
Uncoated book papers for text, coated for photographs and illustration, all from the calculator range up to 170gsm. The preview page shows the stock in its own shade.
4 Pages and colour
Black and white, colour or a mix of the two. The slider follows the binding's page rules, so every count it offers is one we can bind.
TEN, the first NSFW book we printed. Black cloth with gold foil lettering.

Adult content printing FAQ
Adult titles are priced by size, pages, colour, paper, binding and quantity, using the same calculator as other books. Colour artwork and premium cover finishes affect the cost in the same way. Use the calculator above for your exact specification, or compare UK book printing prices.
We print erotic fiction, adult comics, art, photography and other adult books, subject to our content requirements and file checks. We handle enquiries professionally and discreetly. Send your specification and raise any content questions with us before ordering so we can confirm whether the job is suitable.
We do not accept unlawful material or sexual content depicting anyone under 18, including fictional characters presented as minors. Photographic models must be consenting adults, and you must have the rights and permissions for the material you supply. We review content and files before accepting a job and may ask for clarification. If we cannot accept it, we will explain directly and discreetly.
We use outer packaging that does not identify the book title or its contents. Delivery labels, sender details and courier tracking notifications still apply. Discreet packaging does not mean anonymous delivery. If you have a particular delivery requirement, discuss it with us before ordering.
Your files are accessed by the team members who need them to check, prepare and produce your order or handle an enquiry. Contact us before uploading if you have a specific confidentiality requirement. Our privacy policy explains how we handle information.
We can consider the printing, subject to our own content requirements and file checks.
