BinderyInfinite Library

Write print-ready books with Claude.

Bindery is the book studio inside Infinite Library. Describe a change in plain language and watch Claude typeset a print-ready proof — then order a real printed copy, hardcover to saddle stitch.

From manuscript to printed book.

Most tools stop at the words. Bindery is about the object — the typeset page, the cover, the spine, the printed copy. Bring a finished manuscript, yours or one written in Infinite Library, and Claude does the design work you ask for in plain English.

Bring what you already have.

Most books start long before chapter one — in a manuscript, a folder of transcripts, a company wiki, years of a newsletter. Drop it in and Claude reads every word before it sets a page: a finished manuscript is typeset as it is, and notes and transcripts become chapters in your words, never invented.

A manuscript

Word, PDF, EPUB, Markdown or plain text — imported whole and set as a book.

Transcripts

Meeting and interview exports (.vtt, .srt) from Zoom, Teams or Otter — the talk becomes chapters.

A wiki export

A Notion or Confluence export, dropped in as one .zip.

Docs shared by link

Google Docs, Sheets and Slides shared by link, and public Notion or Confluence pages.

A newsletter or blog

A Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost or WordPress address — the public archive becomes an anthology.

YouTube videos

Paste the links; Claude works from what was said and keeps your voice.

What Bindery does.

Compose with Claude

Say it. Watch it set.

Describe the change you want in plain language, and Claude rewrites the typesetting and recompiles a fresh proof — margins, dedication pages, chapter openers, anything you can say.

“tighten the margins”“add a dedication page”“set the chapter openers in small caps”

Order a real copy

Any binding you need.

Hardcover, paperback, lie-flat coil, or saddle stitch — printed on demand and shipped to your door, or just download the clean PDF.

Genuinely print-ready

Press-grade, to the millimeter.

Bindery typesets to LaTeX and outputs press-grade PDFs with correct trim size, bleed, and spine geometry — not a screen mock-up that falls apart at the printer.

Covers, front to back

A cover that wraps.

Front, spine, and back generated to match the interior — the spine sized from the live page count, with a back-cover summary written for you.

Built for any language

Every script, set right.

Bindery auto-detects non-Latin scripts and switches typesetting engines, so Chinese, Japanese, and other editions print with the right fonts.

The whole pipeline

Two perfect print files? Claude makes both.

Publishing a book yourself means a typeset interior PDF and a single-spread cover — trim size, bleed margins, spine width computed from the page count. In Bindery you describe the book; Claude does that whole pipeline, and the printer validates the files before a single page prints.

“make this a cookbook”“set it up as a photo book”“turn my strips into a comic”
Every kind of book

Photo books. Cookbooks. Comics.

Children's picture books, magazines, planners, yearbooks, zines — each set up with the right size, color, and binding for what it is: square, landscape, lie-flat coil, saddle stitch, hardcover.

Make a magazine — issues, columns, ads

Three steps to a real book.

1

Bring your manuscript

Import your own manuscript, or start from a book you wrote in Infinite Library. Photos are placed for you.

2

Compose in plain language

Ask for the book you picture, and Claude re-typesets a fresh proof each time. Watermarked proofs are always free.

3

Print it — or export it

Order a bound copy — hardcover, paperback, coil, or saddle stitch — with the full quote shown before you pay, or unlock the clean, press-ready PDF.

For companies, agencies & ghostwriters.

The same studio, working from what your organization already knows — or making books for your clients, under your name.

Bindery for Work

Your company already wrote a book.

White papers, a Notion or Confluence export, meeting notes, lecture recordings: Bindery reads every word and writes the authority book, onboarding manual, culture report or course textbook from them — under your organization’s name, with the studio’s mark nowhere in it. Then it prints as many copies as you need.

See Bindery for Work
For ghostwriters & agencies

Your client’s book, under your name.

Interview transcripts become a typeset first draft in your client’s voice. On the Agency plan you present it on a white-label proof page that carries your firm’s name — no product name, no sign-up door — then deliver print-ready files or hardcovers, at your price.

How ghostwriters use Bindery

Questions, answered.

What is Bindery?

Bindery is the book-design studio inside Infinite Library. You describe how you want your book to look in plain language, and Claude typesets a print-ready proof you can refine, download, or order as a printed copy.

How is Bindery different from the Infinite Library writing studio?

The Infinite Library studio drafts the words of your book with AI. Bindery takes a finished manuscript — yours or one written in Infinite Library — and turns it into a professionally typeset, print-ready book.

Can I order a physical book?

Yes. Once your proof looks right, you can order a hardcover or paperback printed on demand and shipped to you, or download a clean PDF to print yourself.

Do I need to know LaTeX or design software?

No. Publishing a book yourself normally means preparing two print-ready PDFs — a typeset interior and a single-spread cover with bleed margins and a spine sized from your page count. In Bindery you only describe what you want in plain English; Claude handles the LaTeX, layout, fonts, and print geometry behind the scenes, and the printer validates the files before anything prints.

Can Bindery turn my transcripts, interviews, and notes into a book?

Yes — a pile of raw material is a first-class starting point. Choose Notes when you add a book and drop in meeting transcriptions (.vtt/.srt exports from Zoom, Teams, or Otter included), customer interviews, voice-memo transcripts, and plain notes — or paste text straight in. Claude reads every word before writing anything: it maps the themes, shows you the book hiding in the pile, then writes real chapters as clean prose in your voice, grounded in what you actually said — never typeset verbatim, never invented.

Can Bindery turn my YouTube videos into a book?

Yes. Paste your video links and Bindery reads each video’s transcript, then Claude finds the through-line, organizes the material into real chapters, cleans away the spoken-word filler, and typesets a print-ready book — your voice kept throughout. Videos need captions, and auto-generated ones count, so almost every video works.

What kinds of books can Bindery make?

Any popular print format: novels, memoirs, and poetry, plus photo books, cookbooks, comics and graphic novels, children’s picture books, magazines, planners and journals, workbooks, yearbooks, and booklets or zines. Say what you’re making and Claude sets the book up with the right trim, color, and binding for that kind of book — square or landscape sizes, lie-flat coil, saddle stitch, or hardcover — and the order screen recommends the matching print product.

Can Bindery turn my book into an audiobook, a screenplay, or songs?

Yes — a finished book is a starting point, not an endpoint. The Listen tab narrates it into a real audiobook (premade narrators, or your own cloned voice with Pro). The Script tab adapts it into an industry-formatted screenplay — feature film, TV pilot, or short — that exports for Final Draft. And the Music tab writes it an album: Claude writes lyrics from your story, you read every word, then real sung tracks are recorded at a per-minute price quoted before anything starts. All three are revised the same way you write: just tell Claude what to change.

Can I sell my book — and what royalties do I earn?

Yes. Every published book gets its own free storefront selling the paperback, the ebook, and the audiobook — readers buy without an account. You set a per-copy royalty on printed books, keep about 95% of every ebook sale and 80% of every audiobook sale, and get paid out through Stripe. Sharing your book’s page design on the community shelf earns another $1 for every copy printed in it.

Can Bindery translate my book into another language?

Yes. Translate makes a whole edition of your book in another language — 110 languages, including right-to-left scripts and CJK — as its own book beside the original: translated with one style sheet so names and terms stay consistent, typeset for that language, and ready to print, publish, or narrate. You see the opening translated free first, and the price is quoted up front in AI credits.

What does Bindery cost?

You can start for free: composing runs on studio AI credits — 800 free to start — and a watermarked proof of your book is always free. Bindery Pro is $39/month (or $390/year — two months free) and covers unlimited clean, print-ready PDF exports across every book you make, 10,000 AI credits a month, Claude’s best models on every book, and the whole Infinite Library included — unlimited reading and listening. Prefer no membership? One-time credit packs start at $12, and a single book’s clean PDF is a one-time $49 unlock. Printed copies are priced per book, with the full quote — printing and shipping — shown before you pay.

Do I need Bindery Pro to print a book?

No. Anyone can order a printed hardcover or paperback — you always see the full price before paying. Pro is for authors who want the clean digital PDF of every book, unlimited, plus Claude’s best models — Sonnet, Opus and Fable.
