Books and Pamphlets Help

 

The prices obtained from the use of this program are not firm estimates.  These prices are to be used for estimating purposes only.  The accuracy of the estimates provided is dependent on the accuracy of the information entered. Prices do not include GPO’s surcharge. Your final price will be dependent upon the contractor in the sequence with whom your order is actually placed and may be affected by other variables not accounted for in this estimating program.

 

Book and Pamphlet estimates may be run against programs 0421M, 0814M, 1302M and 1407M. The Books and Pamphlets Overview, Paper, Binding, and Trim help files are reference items only.  It is recommended that you refer to your contract to ensure proper entries.

 

Programs 1402M, 1602M, and 1615M are still being developed and will be added in the near future.  A notice will be placed on our homepage when they become available.
