Hardcover vs paperback, the age old questions. In this video we talk about the difference between the too and which is right for you.
The hardcover book is the most prestigious of the book binding world. The hardcover book is the flagship edition of any book released. For debut books in most mainstream genres, the hardcover book is typically released several months to a year before the paperback, in order to maximize sales to the portion of the market most dedicated to buying that particular title.
Unlike the softcover book, the hardcover has versatility in the way the cover is made. Your cover options are cloth, leather, printed/laminated, bonded leather, and of course a dust jacket. Hardcover book printing also has options like custom end-leaves, gilded edges, speckled and edge staining.
Paperback Books
Paperback books, also known as a softcover or perfect bound books are the most commonly printed books in the publishing arena. Due to the materials involved in making a paperback book, it is the most cost effective if you are looking for cheap book printing.
In this video we will talk about all of the following:
Custom End-Leaves
End-leaves are the sheets of paper that lay on the inside front and back cover.
Gilded Edges
A process most popular on bibles, where all three edges of the book are sanded and almost polished before laying on a thin film of gold foil which is transferred to the book edge with a heated silicon rubber roll.
Speckled Edges and Edge Staining
Speckled edges and edge staining are both fun ways to bring a little variety to your hardcover book.
Signature Sewn Books
Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Signatures are folded from 8, 16, 24, or 32 pages.
