Hardcover books, or case bound books, are synonymous with quality. Their sleek, sturdy appearance and notable size attract attention and make them stand out on any bookshelf. Designed for longevity, they are a valuable addition to any reader’s collection.
There’s no difference. Hardcover books are known by various names, but they follow a consistent process. It begins with case binding, where the pages are assembled and glued into a text block. This text block is then attached to covers usually made from cardboard and covered with paper, cloth, or another protective material. Additionally, most hardcover books use acid-free paper to maintain the quality of your work over time.
Transforming your book into a hardcover with BookBaby Officials is straightforward. Once your manuscript is complete, you’ll have numerous options to customize your dream book, including selecting the ideal cover design. Choose between hardcover or paperback (also known as softcover), and decide on your preferred paper stock and binding.
