Panther Press Program book binding
Have you considered printing your own textbooks, photo books, or portfolios? Choose PCC’s Panther Press Program, the low-cost, local solution to create custom, high-quality paperback books.
Panther Press was created to allow students, staff, faculty, and the general public to print high-quality books “on-demand” at PCC. The cost of printed books is considerably less than hardcover textbooks or in many cases, even online textbook rentals. Completed projects are typically ready for pick-up within 3-5 days of ordering.
Project ideas
The number of Panther Press projects ideas is endless, but here a few options:
- Open-Education Resources (OER) textbooks (to be sold in the Bookstore)
- Instructor-created textbooks
