Coffee table books are not merely compilations of big-shiny pages. There is something about these books that make them timeless. With every glance you take, you admire the beauty. With every page you flip, it takes you on a journey where each second is lived by you, by us, that brings the book to life.
Each book is a statement of legacy, it is a visual tour narrating stories that engage, inform, and inspire. At Maneesh Media, a coffee table book design company, we transform your life journeys, entrepreneurial achievements, personal stories into beautifully crafted legacies because stories like yours deserve more than just words. They deserve pages that live forever.
We all have different stories, different memories.Memories of love, triumph, joy, growth. But some memories echo louder than the rest. They refuse to stay silent and linger in our hearts like our favourite song, playing softly every time we pause to remember. Perhaps it is your rise and shine from humble beginnings, or the story of your brand that added charm to many lives. It could also be a legacy passed down from generations that you cherish. These are the memories, the narratives we believe need to be told.
So, let us walk you through our journey of creativity that begins with a dream and ends with a luxurious piece of art held in your hand. It is a tour where raw ideas are thoughtfully refined into well-curated scripts and ultimately your story is brought to life as a beautifully crafted piece of art. Let us take you along, step by step, mile by mile.
The First Step – Where’s the Map?
Our journey begins when you reach out to us, and together, unknowing of the adventures waiting just around the corner, we pack our bags with hopes, excitement and a vision, waiting to transform simple moments into memories that stay forever. What is the first thing you look for before starting a journey into the unknown? A guiding path, a map. And no, this map is not a long form or an interview in a fixed format, instead, we welcome you into a heartfelt conversation. To understand our guiding path, we listen to your story, vision, and the purpose behind the book. Every information takes us one step closer to our destination, to a stunning coffee table book.
Maps are often puzzling. To understand the map, we first need to have a sense of direction. We get this understanding through our personal discussions with you and guidance on how you want your story to be shaped. The path we then take follows the outcome of our conversation. The team at Maneesh Media, luxury book publishers India, digs through the information, studies it, just like travellers study a route, road by road, city by city, highlighting each and every turn. At this stage, your dream destination finds its route.
The Second Step – Let’s Tell You a Story On the Go!
Meet our storytellers and your travel companions – our writers and editors. During the journey, they pitch an idea to you that includes the tone of narration and structure of the chapters. Then comes the Y-shaped road where you get two ways. The right turn takes your story to the designers and on the left, the story continues. You can decide how many left turns you want to take, until the story finally feels right!
The Third Step – Hello Designers!
When you hire professional book publishers, Maneesh Media to be your travel companions, the team excitedly waits for you at every turn to get your approvals. When you finally give a thumbs up to the editorial team, they step outside and the designers take over. The designers’ job is to make your story visually appealing and captivating. They make your destination, your hardcover legacy more charming by adding your photographs, elegant colours, and attractive layouts. Our designing team puts their thoughts, their hearts and all their creativity to make sure you enjoy your destination. At this stop, we present a concept proposal including sample layout, suggestions on size, material and aesthetics of the book.
The Fourth Step – Off to the Printer!
Publishing your legacy is only a few steps away. After days of planning, writing and continuous editing, once you approve, together, we head to the back seat and the printer becomes our driver. It finally takes us to the destination, and with binoculars we enjoy watching our coffee table book getting closer and finally, you can see your life story turned into your legacy in hardcover.
With over 20 years of experience, we have travelled with visionaries and dreamers not just as guides but passionate co-travellers. We treat every story with the dignity, the creativity, and the regard it deserves. Get a coffee table book published with us, because we believe that great stories like yours, deserve to be honoured.
