In the diploma thesis, we researched the definition of a book, its suitable materials, its composition, the appropriate choice of printing and the technological processes in the finishing phase. We also delved into the client and his choice between a publishing house and self-publishing. We presented the entire book production process to new authors and introduced them to more favourable design and technological solutions. Since many authors are embarking on this process for the first time, we also presented the approach to the publishing house, expectations and preparation for the first meeting with the publisher. In the case of self-publishing, we presented what procedures they would encounter and what they needed to pay attention to, and we showed the optimal solution for the book's final appearance. The diploma thesis aimed to produce a book, to order and monitor the entire technological process of its creation. In the practical part, we met with the client to set goals and the final look of the book. We continued with graphic preparation and preparation for printing. In the printing phase and other technological operations, we delved into the operation of the machines, their preparation, the materials used and work procedures. Many machines were used to create a book of lasting value. We found that the price of the finished product depends on the client's wishes, as he can choose from many accessories, decorations and materials that demand their price.
