If you like to read, you already know that nothing beats a hardcover book in terms of quality. This cover type is also called ‘case binding’ because the binding forms a protective case around the pages. We create hardcover books that are as impressive, slick, and professional-looking as any that you would find in the major high street bookstores.
The main downside of hardcover binding is that it can get relatively expensive. But while it will cost you a little more to print the hardcover adds a perceived value which is greater than the added financial investment on your part, so you can usually sell the book at a much higher price to make a profit.
But if it’s your first ever hardcover, it may be best to use it as a special edition or collection of work that your existing super-fans will definitely buy. You can also use hardcover binding for library copies if the library service forms part of your marketing and distribution strategy. Hardcover binding will keep your books sturdy and pristine over the course of many years.
