About Perfect Bound
Creating the Future of Publishing
Perfect Bound is a cutting-edge suite of services for book publishers worldwide. For the first time in publishing history, we brought together title management, a revolutionary printing marketplace, sales and inventory tracking, royalties and rights management, and distribution (provided by Simon & Schuster) to thousands of publishing houses around the world.
Our Story
Perfect Bound was launched in 2022 by independent publishers Keith Riegert, CEO of Ulysses Press, and Alyson Forbes, Publisher/COO of Catapult Books. Together, Keith and Alyson built the first viable two-sided marketplace connecting book publishers and printers around the world. That marketplace now services over 160 publishers and 60 printers on six continents.
​
In 2023, Perfect Bound partnered with Chris Yeung and Sam Lundin of the Vimbly Group to expand the platform to include every service a publisher needs to operate their business, from ONIX-fed title management and sales tracking to seamless royalty payments.
​
In 2024, Perfect Bound completed its suite of services by integrating optional distribution provided by one of the world's premier publishers and distributors, Simon & Schuster, opening up global sales channels for every publisher.
