Final Image Preparation

VERY IMPORTANT
We have received a number of downloads which we have had to reject and this causes delays. We have been sent images we did not ask for, images in the wrong format or images in several different formats such as TIffs and Pro-Photo etc. This can lead to errors during book design and the wrong inks being during production.

Please only supply what we ask for as specified below.
