Many Navy cruise book companies are going to corner you into working with their custom software packages. Expressly Yours believes that you should have the flexibility to put your Navy cruise book together in whatever way makes YOU feel comfortable. We give you many options.

• We can send you layout sheets. You can "cut and paste" your pictures and captions on these sheets however you like. This "traditional method" of creating your book is great for younger students or schools without much computer experience.
  
• We also accept most page layout programs. The best way for you to prepare your book is to use a program such as Pagemaker, Quark, Photoshop, or even Publisher. With these programs you can impose your pictures and type in your text. All you would do is give us your completed file and we will go to work! This is the way we prefer to receive work and it's the least expensive option for you.

You can sit back and wait for your book! You will receive a proof copy of your book to review. This is an opportunity for you to catch any last minute mistakes and make sure that everything you prepared has turned out the way you expected. As soon as you sign off on the proofs, we are ready to start production of your books.

Since each squadron expects to receive its books at a different time, there is no generic deadline. We work with each squadron individually and work from its schedule. We will have you submit your book to us in different sections, and the final section will be due 8-10 weeks before your books are to be delivered.
