Soft covers are paper-bound books (glued or stitched) where the inside block and the back of the cover adhere together. For hardcovers, the endpapers join the inside and the cover together. Various elements are added, such as the endpapers, the headbands and the tail bands, the covering material, the card, the back, and the bookmark.

If you opt for a softcover book, your choice is simple: an interior and a thick paper cover with a density usually between 90 GSM and 350 GSM, with flaps in option.

But if you opt for a hardcover book, you will invest more in the end product, excellent choice! In the digital age, the physical 3D presence can make a difference. With a hardcover book, you get visible high quality, volume, and weight thanks to the thickness of the binding, the touch, and the smell of quality materials. Hardback is the most secure option: it is durable, prestigious, and timeless.
