Take a manuscript to a print-ready book with a checklist that proves it.

After the first use you have
A production plan for one book: format sheet, front and back matter, figure plan, print-ready check table, cover brief with spine math, and launch sequence.
A book fails in the details: a table of contents that drifts, figures that vanish in black and white, a spine that no longer fits.
This skill locks the format first, keeps one source of truth, and runs a pass or fail check list before you call anything print-ready.
It also covers sources, permissions, and a modest, honest launch.
