Thesis & Dissertation Printing

Book1one will give your thesis or dissertation the professional look it deserves..

If you are looking for a world class company to print and bind your thesis or dissertation, you will find that Book1One will give your document the high quality attention it requires and deserves. Graduate students from all over the country have used our services, and we are listed at many colleges and universities as a reliable resource for hardcover and softcover thesis and dissertation book printing. 

We understand that theses and dissertations comprise a special category in the book publishing world. They represent the culmination of a large body of work and achievement at a very high academic level – and are recognized symbols of professional accomplishment.

Cloth and Faux Leather Color Choices:

NOTE: Colors may not display accurately due to differences in monitor settings

Why choose Book1One to print your thesis or dissertation?

• We offer a number of cover options.  At Book1One, you can select from three cover options for hardcover books: a full-color printed cover, a cloth cover with foil stamping, or a faux (imitation) leather cover with foil stamping. The cloth and faux leather book coverings come in four different colors: black, navy blue, dark red, and green. The color choices are shown in the right side on this webpage. Foil stamping, printed on the front cover and spine, can be either a gold or silver color. Softcover theses and dissertations come with a full color printed cover.
• We have no minimum quantity requirements.  In most instances, the number of printed copies needed for a thesis or dissertation are low. The size of thesis/dissertation orders we receive vary from a high of around ten to a low of one copy. We can print as many or as few copies of your thesis or dissertation at an affordable price and with the same amount of attention we give to larger book orders.

We can offer you a special service regarding foil stamping.

If your foil stamping involves basic text and numbers, such as book title, author’s name, school and date, Book1One can assemble your cover for you at no additional cost to use. If you wish us to provide this service to you, when you place your order, upload a PDF file indicating what you would like printed on your front cover and spine and approximate positioning. We will fit and center the type using the Time New Roman font. For more on foil stamping click  here .

Book1One is one of very few book manufacturers who has a website price calculator that will enable you to obtain an accurate price quote without having to place a phone call or submit an email. It’s fast, easy, and our customers love it!

Simply insert the specifications of your book project and, with one click, see what the price of your project will be.

Thesis Materials And Binding

What is buckram.

Buckram is a hard-wearing book cloth, long favoured by libraries, universities and other institutions for book that are frequently used. Our range of buckram colours is comprehensive and we are sure to have a colour to suit every taste.

What colours of buckram can I get my thesis bound in?

We currently stock more than 25 colours of buckram, plus many colours in a huge range of book cloths.

Can I get my own personal copy in leather? 

Yes, we frequently have students ordering their own genuine leather-bound copy, complete with hand-stamped lettering, book ribbon and premium tooled centrepiece on the front cover. Spine labels, marbled end pages and raised bands (where suited) are also available.

Are there any other book cloths available?

We have a fantastic range of linen feel, PU, paper cloth, metallic, vinyl and many other cloths. Our suppliers are constantly sourcing new and interesting ranges from all over the world. Why not come into our bindery showroom and see what options we have available?

I’ve just finished my thesis and need to submit for examination. Do you offer thermal binding and soft binding? 

We offer thermal binding up to 50mm with either black or white back cover and clear front. Our thermal binding – clear front and black or white spine and back

Our soft binding – black or maroon front and back, with cloth spine.

Both options can come with a spine label.

Are there any optional extras I can add to my thesis binding?

Our order form lists the additional inclusions: book ribbons, CD pockets, marbled end papers, All of these and more are available on our order form.

Can you add a CD or map pocket to the inside back cover of my thesis?

We custom make CD and map pockets from the same colour buckram or vegan leather as your cover, for $9 each.

What is the maximum number of pages you can bind in one book?

Using our normal thesis binding process, we are able to bind a maximum of around 500 sheets of paper. While we can employ a different binding process for larger books, we recommend splitting into two volumes, for ease of storage, transport and of course, reading.

What is the minimum number of pages you can bind in a book?

The thinnest book we have bound is 6 pages, although we are confident that 1 page is the minimum.

Stamping And Lettering

What is stamping or lettering?

Stamping is the term we use to describe the process of affixing the words to your thesis cover. While it may appear like it has been printed, the process involved heating up brass or lead letters, then pressing them into the surface of the cover with a thin sheet of fast-release foil in between. If you run your fingers along the letters, you may feel how letters have been pressed into the cover. The term lettering has been coined to assist students to understand that we are talking about the words or ‘letters’ in their title, name, degree title, etc.

I have a very long title. Can you fit it on the front and spine of my thesis? 

We have a number of different sizes of our thesis font, known as Radiant Medium. This allows us to select a slightly smaller font size when there are many words in a thesis title. In 99% of orders, we have no problem fitting long titles onto the spine of a thesis.

I have a special or unusual character in my title or my name. Are you able to accommodate this?

Yes, we utilise state-of-the-art programming to control our foil stamping (lettering) machine. This means we can produce almost any special character for your title or name. There is an additional fee for each special character, per font size (two font sizes are used  – one for the front cover and one for the spine).

Do you have other fonts available for the front cover and spine lettering?

We have a large range of fonts, which incur an additional fee.

Can you print on my cover instead of stamping? 

Yes we can! We are able to full-colour print on buckram and many of the other book cloths we stock.

Can you stamp an image or logo on the cover of my thesis?

We certainly can! Over the years, a number of students have requested their university/college crest or logo to be stamped on the cover, you are more than able to have such stamping on your personal copies.

Can you print an image in colour on the cover of my thesis?

Yes! We can print any picture or image onto the cover of book. All we need is a PDF of the artwork!

Can I get a border impressed into the cover of my thesis?

We have three ‘blind’ borders available to choose from.

Thesis and Dissertation Delivery And Pickup

Dissertation Printing and Binding | Types & Comparison 

Table of Contents

Once you have the final copy of your dissertation in your hands, all thoroughly proofread and reviewed intensely, the next step is to have it printed and bound. The dissertation printing and binding process is to be taken seriously since no one would want their years of hard work and toil to be seen as a shabby and poorly produced product. So before you rush out to get it printed, always ensure the institutional guidelines on how the dissertation is to be printed and bound are strictly followed.  

In this article, we will look at the dissertation printing and binding process, the final box that is to be ticked in the research journey. The critical aspect of this final step is for you to make the appropriate choice in terms of the type of binding and printing options you will use.  

Types of Dissertation Binding  

Spending some time reviewing the binding options available is a great way to begin. Align your choice with the university requirements first, then start exploring binding possibilities. Remember to keep in mind factors like binding quality, durability, how professional it will appear, and the costs involved. Below are some of the common types of dissertation binding that one can consider. 

• Spiral binding : This type of dissertation binding is perfect for undergraduate or graduate students working on tight budgets as it is relatively inexpensive. Plastic or metal coils are used here to bind pages together (choices of color may be available), and the final output is straightforward to handle and read, given the flat opening that makes browsing through hassle-free.  
• Hardback binding : Students can choose this kind of binding for their final dissertation submission. It gives your dissertation a professional look. With hardcovers on the front and back, one can also try various kinds of lettering to make it more impactful. 
• Paperback binding : This option can be considered for informal submissions. Though it costs less than hardback binding, good quality, and flexible light covers can create a clean and professional appearance.  
• Thermal binding : Here, the binding is done with a transparent cover that highlights the dissertation’s title page. It has a professional look, is solid and reliable, and has color options. 
• Comb binding : This kind of binding is recommended for draft versions and costs less than a spiral binding option. It allows pages to be removed or added and comes with a transparent front and back cover.  

Dissertation Printing Options   

• Color or black and white: Before deciding on the colour option, check if your department or institution has laid out any guidelines in this regard. If it’s not specified, weigh in which one colour or a combination will make your dissertation visually appealing. Color printing tends to be expensive, and an overuse of colors can be overwhelming and distracting. So, use colour wisely and only where required – for graphs or figures, for example. 
• Single or double-sided: University guidelines should be the foremost factor in deciding to opt for single-sided or double-sided printing. The latter is obviously cheaper. However, take care to ensure that the title page, acknowledgments, table of contents, abstract, and bibliography start on fresh pages. Similarly, new chapters should also begin on the front side of the paper. You also need to consider the difficulty in comparing images and graphs referred to in the text if these appear on either side of a page. 
• Layout: Check departmental guidelines on the layout and margin requirements. Usually, a 2.5 cm margin on the side is required to make allowance for binding. 
• Paper weight: The paper should not be so thin that the print is visible on the other side, nor should it be too thick. For better quality output, consider using a paper weight of 100gsm. 
• Number of copies: Depending on your department guidelines, you may have to submit one to three copies of your dissertation. Hence, three to five copies are usually printed. 

Things to check before printing dissertations

Before printing your dissertation, make sure to do some final checks, as listed below. 

• Ensure that your document is saved in PDF file format: PDF files are usually accepted by thesis printing services. Hence, by keeping your dissertation in pdf file format beforehand, you can check for any discrepancies or errors that may arise during conversion.
• Proofread your dissertation: This is crucial to eliminate any grammatical or language errors, misspelled words, or incomplete sentences that may have been overlooked.
• Review the tables, graphs, and any other visual elements: Formatting can affect the layout of tables and graphs. So, cross-check visuals, ensure correct labeling, and check if they correspond to the information in the text. Also, ensure that the images are of high quality.
• Check with the printing services beforehand: It is always helpful to check ahead with printing service providers on the time and cost of printing and binding. Also, check with your department for any formalities to be completed while submitting the printed dissertation. This allows you to plan things well in advance. 

There are many types and options for students to choose from when it comes to printing and binding dissertations. However, as highlighted above, it is essential to be aware of the institution’s requirements and guidelines before it proceeds.

Aug 12, 2024 Examining social psychological principles that explain why Democrats’ strategy of calling ideas “weird” works. This blog post was co-authored by Madeline Jalbert , a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, and Ira Hyman , a psychology professor at Western Washington University. Democrats have recently started to call some Republican attitudes and behaviors “weird” — a strategy we refer to as weird-checking . The approach shares many similarities with social norm interventions that social psychologists have found to be effective. Our own attitudes and behaviors are heavily guided by perceived social norms — what we think others believe and do. Unfortunately, people frequently have incorrect views of which ideas are widely shared. Extreme and minority views are often overrepresented in the media, making them appear to be more common and acceptable than they are. Weird-checking communicates what others actually believe and can disrupt these inflated perceptions of consensus . It can also orient us to more carefully consider whether the attitude or behavior is consistent with societal values and expectations. This strategy can be used to address problematic attitudes and behaviors that can not be addressed through traditional fact-checking methods That’s just weird . Over the last few weeks, you have probably seen Democrats referring to some Republican ideas and policy proposals as weird. Thanks to Tim Walz, the Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice presidential nominee, weird has become a central part of the political discourse. The news media is currently flooded with discussion of this new strategy and its success, with a few examples of recent headlines including “Democrats Embrace ‘Weird’ Messaging on Trump” (from The New York Times ), “Why the ‘Weird’ Label is Working for Kamala Harris’” (from the BBC ), and “‘Weird’ is Democrat’s Most Effective Insult” (from The Washington Post ). This approach represents a shift away from Democrat’s standard fact-checking attempts (see this recent TechDirt piece by Mike Masnick for a discussion). We’ve started to refer to this strategy as “weird-checking” — like fact-checking, but checking if something is weird instead of checking if it’s true. Why does weird-checking work? One key reason for its success can be explained by its appeal to social norms, which play a powerful role in whether we accept or reject an idea or action. As individuals, we look to what others believe and endorse to inform our own attitudes and behaviors (e.g., Schwarz & Jalbert, 2021 ). The phenomenon of checking our ideas and actions against what others believe and do is referred to as “social proof” (Cialdini, 2009) — if something has broad acceptance, there must be something to it (Festinger, 1954) . When we see that others endorse a message, we’re also more likely to endorse it (Cialdini, 2009) .  Unfortunately, we may not know what other people think. This is because our perceptions of what others believe and do are often constructed through our own experiences rather than from information about actual rates (Tankard & Paluck, 2016) . For example, we typically assess the popularity of an opinion by relying on cues like how familiar it feels or how many times we recall seeing it in the news or on social media. We’re less likely to use information obtained through an opinion poll. Indeed, media exposure is our primary source of information on many issues (Shehata & Strömbäck, 2021; Su et al., 2015) . Media is not, however, constructed to be representative of the actual distribution of beliefs and opinions that exist in the world. Instead, the news disproportionately shares extreme and uncommon views (e.g., Koehler, 2016) , and our social media algorithms often prioritize sensational content that grabs and maintains our engagement (e.g., Bucher & Helmond, 2018; Dujeancourt & Garz, 2023) .  Media exposure can shift our perception of norms (Gunther et al., 2006; Paluck, 2009) , and disproportionate exposure to reports of minority attitudes and behaviors may make those attitudes and behaviors seem more common and acceptable than they actually are. Some of our work has found that the mere repetition of information increases perceptions that the information has consensus — an “illusory consensus” effect (Jalbert & Pillai, 2024) . Other researchers have found that repeated exposure to reports of immoral behaviors makes them seem more common and, in turn, more acceptable (Pillai et al., 2023) . These processes may help explain why people have a tendency to overestimate the extremity of views of those who do not share their political orientation or underestimate how many others actually share their own policy-related opinion (e.g., Levendusky & Malhotra, 2016; Yang et al., 2016) . For example, most people believe that climate change is a substantial problem that their government should address but substantially underestimate the percentage of people who agree with them (Andre et al., 2024; Sparkman et al., 2022) . In addition to the effects of being exposed to information, other aspects of the messages may also lead people to (often incorrectly) believe those ideas have widespread consensus. Politicians frequently bake information about broad consensus into their messages. A recurring part of Trump’s rhetoric includes referring to the “many people” who say or believe the message he wants to promote. For example, in a press conference last Thursday, Trump (incorrectly) claimed that “They wanted to get rid of Roe v. Wade and that’s Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, and everybody. Liberals, conservatives, everybody wanted it back in the states” (Montanaro, 2024) . As another example, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) argued on May 8, “We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections.” In this case, Johnson was not only repeating false information (Swenson, 2024) but was also claiming that this was something widely known and accepted. Combined with the influences of disproportionate and repeated news coverage, these political messages can easily mislead people on which positions are widely held. Weird-checking as a social norms intervention A recent survey by Data for Progress asked US voters to judge how weird they found recent claims made and actions taken by members of the Republican party. Most voters found several of them — including claiming that Kamala Harris only recently became a Black person and supporting the monitoring of pregnant women to prevent them from traveling for reproductive healthcare — to be “very weird” (Springs, 2024) . When left unchecked, the disproportionate and repeated coverage of these behaviors may make them especially susceptible to falsely inflated perceptions of consensus. Without looking at this poll, people may not know that the majority of other people also find these behaviors to be abnormal. By weird-checking unpopular beliefs, including these, Democrats are helping communicate more accurate perceptions of the true state of consensus. Communicating information around consensus is a powerful intervention, well-established by social psychologists to be effective in promoting belief correction and behavior change across a variety of domains. For example, communicating doctors’ consensus around COVID-19 vaccines can increase vaccination rates (Bartoš et al., 2022) , and sharing social norms around engaging in energy and water conservation habits can increase those behaviors (Goldstein et al., 2008; Nolan et al., 2008; Schultz et al., 2007) . Communicating consensus information can also be used to reduce undesirable behaviors like littering (Kallgren et al., 2000) and drinking and driving (Perkins et al., 2010) . And, more recently, sharing consensus information has been found to help reduce belief in misinformation (Ecker et al., 2023) . Communication around consensus also does not have to be explicit to change our minds. In some of our work, we’ve investigated how false information shared online is evaluated when it appears with social truth queries: questions posed by another user drawing attention to whether information is true (e.g., “How do you know this is true?”, “Is there evidence for that?”, “Do other people believe that?”). We have consistently found that the presence of these truth queries reduces belief in and intent to share false information. These truth queries are thought to be effective in part because the mere act of asking a question disrupts assumptions that the information has consensus and changes how we process it (Jalbert et al., 2023) . Similarly, calling something weird may lead people to use a different frame than they normally would to guide how that information is interpreted and understood (see Starbird, 2023 , for a relevant discussion). An additional note is that these efforts may be effective even when they don’t convince everyone that a particular attitude or behavior is weird. Because people have a strong motivation to affiliate and receive the approval of others (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004) , just knowing that others consider a sentiment weird may make someone less likely to publicly endorse or share it.  We also want to note an important limitation to our discussion of weird-checking so far. We have been focused on the effects of calling attitudes and behaviors weird. However, politicians have also been referring to the people who promote these attitudes and engage in these behaviors as weird too. Doing so may lead people to reconsider those politicians in the same fashion — e.g., are these people reasonable? How similar are they to what people expect of someone who holds their position? How many others generally agree with their beliefs and values? Why weird-checking may sometimes be better than fact-checking Why might weird-checking be helping Democrats change the narrative in places where typical fact-checking efforts have been unsuccessful? In many situations, fact-checks can be effective in getting people to update their beliefs (Walter & Murphy, 2018) . However, fact-checking has its shortcomings. One particularly important one is that attitudes and the acceptability of behaviors can’t be fact-checked. You can’t fact-check, for example, whether someone should support the monitoring of pregnant women to restrict their travel. But you can weird-check this view. In addition, the truth of a message is often nuanced and complicated, making it difficult to communicate and digest. Fact-checks ask us to focus on the specific details of an attitude held or action taken by one person. Weird-checking may allow us to bypass engaging these details (an often frustrating and not-so-fruitful task that distracts from the overarching takeaway) and instead do a more general gut check of whether the attitude or behavior is consistent with our values and norms and those our society endorses. Why weird-checking works Why does weird-checking work? Calling an attitude or behavior weird communicates information about social norms and consensus, factors that play a critical role in guiding our own beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Extreme and minority views are often overrepresented in the media, and repeated exposure to them may make them appear to be more common and acceptable than they actually are. Referring to an attitude or behavior as weird disrupts inflated perceptions of consensus, provides information about the views of others, and orients us to more carefully consider whether the attitude or behavior is consistent with societal values and expectations. You don’t have to use the word weird to get this effect. You could use a more traditional approach like sharing opinion poll information. Or you could try out another phrasing like unusual, strange, bizarre, or out-of-touch. But weird works.

Structural Analyses of a GABARAP~ATG3 Conjugate Uncover a Novel Non-covalent Ubl-E2 Backside Interaction Find this author on Google Scholar Find this author on PubMed Search for this author on this site ORCID record for Takanori Otomo For correspondence: [email protected] Info/History Supplementary material Preview PDF Members of the ATG8 family of ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) are conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the autophagosomal membrane, where they recruit degradation substrates and facilitate membrane biogenesis. Despite this well-characterized function, the mechanisms underlying the lipidation process, including the action of the E2 enzyme ATG3, remain incompletely understood. Here, we report the crystal structure of human ATG3 conjugated to the mammalian ATG8 protein GABARAP via an isopeptide bond, mimicking the Ubl~E2 thioester intermediate. In this structure, the GABARAP~ATG3 conjugate adopts an open configuration with minimal contacts between the two proteins. Notably, the crystal lattice reveals non-covalent contacts between GABARAP and the backside of ATG3 E2 catalytic center, resulting in the formation of a helical filament of the GABARAP~ATG3 conjugate. While similar filament formations have been observed with canonical Ub~E2 conjugates, the E2 backside-binding interface of GABARAP is distinct from those of Ub/Ubl proteins and overlaps with the binding site for LC3 interacting region (LIR) peptides. NMR analysis confirms the presence of this non-covalent interaction in solution, and mutagenesis experiments demonstrate the involvement of the E2 backside in PE conjugation. These findings highlight the critical role of the E2 backside in the lipidation process and suggest evolutionary adaptations in the unique E2 enzyme ATG3.

Marilyn Brown, Regents’ and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in Georgia Tech’s School of Public Policy While the U.S. federal government has clean energy targets, they are not binding. Most economically developed countries have mandatory policies designed to bolster renewable electricity production. Because the U.S. lacks an enforceable federal mandate for renewable electricity, individual states are left to develop their own regulations.  Marilyn Brown , Regents’ and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems   in Georgia Tech’s School of Public Policy ; Shan Zhou, an assistant professor at Purdue University and Georgia Tech Ph.D. alumna; and Barry Solomon, a professor emeritus of environmental policy at Michigan Technological University, investigated how clean electricity policies affect not only the states that adopt them, but neighboring states as well. Using data-driven comparisons, the researchers found that the impact of these subnational clean energy policies is far greater — and more nuanced — than previously known.  Their research was recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .  “Analysts are asking if the U.S. should have a federal renewable mandate to put the whole country on the same page, or if individual state policies are sufficient,” Brown said. “To answer that question, it is useful to know if states with renewable energy policies are influencing those without them.” Brown, Solomon, and Zhou examined a common clean energy policy tool: the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Adopted by more than half of U.S. states, RPSs are regulations requiring a state’s utility providers to generate a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable resources, such as wind or solar. Many of these standards are mandatory, with utility companies facing fines if they fail to reach targets within a given time. To investigate the influence of these policies across state lines, the researchers first created a dataset that included 31 years (1991-2021) of annual renewable electricity generation data for 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. They then used the dataset to generate pairs of states linking each state to its geographic neighbors or electricity trading partners, allowing them to examine the influence of the RPS policy adopted by one of the pair on the renewable energy generation of the other — a total of 1,519 paired comparisons.  “By only looking at the pairs, we can see if an RPS in one state directly affects renewable electricity generation in another state, and, if that’s the case, whether it is because they are geographic neighbors or if it’s because they are participating in the same wholesale electricity market,” Zhou said.  Looking into the electricity market is important, because states often purchase electricity from other states through wholesale markets rather than exclusively producing their own power, and the purchased power can be generated from renewables. Utilities in some states may be allowed to meet their own RPS requirements by purchasing renewable energy credits based on the renewable electricity generated in other states.  In their analyses, the team also considered the concept of “policy stringency.” A stringency measure evaluates a state’s renewable electricity targets relative to the amount currently produced in the state. For example, if a state requires electric utilities to generate 30% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and the state already has 25%, it isn’t a very stringent policy. On the other hand, if a state has a 30% target and only uses 10% renewables currently, it has a more ambitious and stringent RPS. Though policy experts have used the metric in related work for over a decade, the research team improved the design.  “Our stringency variable includes interim targets as well as the existing share of renewable energy generation,” Solomon said. The team found that the amount of renewable electricity generation in a state is not only influenced by whether that state has its own RPS, but also by the RPS policies of neighboring states.  “We also learned that the stronger a neighboring state’s RPS policy is, the more likely a given state is to generate more renewable electricity,” Brown said. “It’s all a very interactive web with many co-benefits.” The authors were surprised to find that a given state’s electricity trading partners did not hold the most influence over renewable generation, but rather the geographical proximity to RPS states. They suggest that past RPS policy research focusing on within-state impacts likely underestimated an RPS’s full impact. While the researchers have not yet identified all factors that can cause spillover effects, they plan to investigate this further.  “The spillover effect is very significant and should not be overlooked by future research, especially for states without RPSs,” Zhou said. “For states without policies, their renewable electricity generation is very heavily influenced by their neighbors.” Citation : Shan Zhou, Barry D.
