Three ways to bring your book into the world — a classic perfect-bound paperback and two premium hardcover finishes. Here's exactly what you get with each.
A flexible, full-color cover is printed, laminated, and glued squarely to the spine — the binding you'll recognize from most novels and trade books. Pages lie flat-ish and the square spine can be printed with your title and author, so it reads well face-out or shelved.
Your full-color cover art is printed directly onto the case and laminated, wrapping the front, spine, and back of a sturdy hardcover board. There's no separate dust jacket — the printed image is the cover, so nothing slides off or tears. A durable, vivid, premium upgrade from paperback.
Our most premium binding. Rigid boards are wrapped in colored linen cloth, the spine is foil-stamped with your title and author, and a separate full-color printed dust jacket wraps the outside with front, back, and inside flaps. This is the keepsake, gift, and special-edition format.
