Academic & Textbook Design for Print and Digital
At ebookconversion.com, we specialize in academic and textbook design for print and digital publication. Our goal is to transform educational manuscripts into clear, organized, and professionally formatted books ready for classroom use, research, or online distribution.
Academic books and textbooks are not just about aesthetics — they are tools for learning. Our design approach ensures that every element supports clarity, comprehension, and accessibility.
🎓 We Design All Types of Academic Books
Our layout and typesetting services cover a wide range of educational and research-based publications, including:
- School & College Textbooks
- Research-based Academic Books

- Teacher Guides and Course Companions
- Exam Preparation Books
Each project is carefully designed to ensure readability, consistency, and alignment with academic publishing standards.
🧭 Our Design Philosophy
“Structure over style — clarity over creativity.”
Academic design focuses on function and precision. Unlike fiction, which immerses, academic design organizes.
Our layouts are created to help readers find, understand, and retain information effectively.
We emphasize:
- Logical structure and clear hierarchy
- Consistent typography and spacing
- Readable, research-friendly layouts
- Visual support for data (charts, tables, figures)
- Long-term usability for reprints or digital updates
📐 Textbook Page Design & Layout
Our team builds each textbook using best practices in academic typesetting.
We ensure perfect alignment, balanced margins, and professional rhythm for long reading.
Common Layout Specifications:
- Trim Size: 7″×10″ (textbook) or 6″×9″ (academic book)
- Margins: Inside 0.75″–0.9″, Outside 0.6″–0.7″
- Columns: 1- or 2-column grid layouts
- Gutter Space: Extra width for charts, tables, and footnotes
We maintain a strong typographic hierarchy with distinct levels for:
- Chapter Titles
- Section Headings
- Subheadings
- Body Text
- Figures & Captions
✏️ Typography for Clarity
Our academic designs use highly readable fonts that work well for extended study sessions and technical content.
Body Text Fonts: Minion Pro, Merriweather, Palatino, Times New Roman, Crimson Pro
Heading Fonts: Lato, Myriad Pro, Roboto, Source Sans Pro
Every page maintains visual discipline — from paragraph alignment to hyphenation and spacing — ensuring a consistent learning experience.
