This is not a checkout total. The written quote confirms unstated production details, delivery, applicable VAT, timing and availability.
Common projects
The written quote records the format, materials, production scope, delivery treatment and any specialist requirement for the actual job.
Project perspective
A custom book printing brief does not need every production answer on day one. It does need a clear reader, a working size, an approximate page count, the intended quantity and a delivery destination. From there, the binding, paper, cover and proof route can be considered as one system. If the layout is still changing, say what is fixed and what is provisional so the next step is honest about what may change.
What affects the quote
Specification options
These are discussion points, not a fixed public specification. The written quote names the materials, construction and proof route for the job.

Common questions
Yes. An early quote can identify the decision points, but the spine, binding route and final production scope may need revision once the page count and files are confirmed.
It depends on the page count, paper, how the book is used and the intended result. Describe the reading experience, then compare the relevant binding directions for approval.
Planning a book run?
A manuscript, rough PDF or page plan is enough for an initial review. The cover, paper, colour pattern and proof route can be settled in the written specification.
