With our sights set on the future, The HF Group LLC announced in early 2011 the re-structuring and new brand for our Short Run Digital Book Manufacturing Group. The group has been given the title of Book Partners as its business model, and our strategy is to free publishers from time-consuming production processes to focus on what matters most—their core business of developing new markets and growing their companies.
“The newly-branded Book Partners will continue its expansion and acceleration of its product and service offerings to keep pace with current market demands and provide profitable and efficient solutions for our clients” commented Jim Heckman, Vice President, The HF Group and Managing Director, Book Partners.
Currently there are two major e-commerce products offered by Book Partners: Thesis on Demand, an online tool for students to publish their thesis or dissertation; and PrintMyGenealogy, a valuable resource for publishing family history books.
Additionally, Book Partners is paring its core services: short run digital book manufacturing and print-on- demand services with other production services including: binding options with both hard cover and perfect bound books; digitization services; fulfillment; and warehousing as well as inventory control.
“Our promise to the publishing community has revolutionalized and transformed the way publishers grow their businesses . . . by helping them reduce their overhead and production costs through controlled outsourced digital book manufacturing and fulfillment and distribution services” stated Jim Heckman.
