Finishing your printed book with a hardback cover<\/a> can give a book a distinguished element and help to protect it from wear and tear. The perfect choice for stylish non-fictional books, hard-wearing manuals, biographies, and anything in between, a hardcover is a fantastic choice for publications of all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help ensure you find the perfect style of hardcover<\/a>, we\u2019re looking at the different options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose a hardback?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to their rigid covers, hardback books<\/a> are more durable and longer lasting than softback (paperback) alternatives. Although slightly more expensive to produce, they will stand the test of time and will look great on your bookshelf for years to come. In general, hard books need to be between 40 and 600 pages long for the binding process to be effective. If your b\u00ad\u00adook falls outside these parameters, talk to one of our sales advisors to find out about alternative options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The binding process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The binding method used to create a hardback book<\/a> is known as case binding<\/a>. Printed sheets are folded to create groups of pages, known as signatures. These are stitched together using thread to create a book block. This is glued onto a flexible material which becomes the inner part of the spine. Head and tailbands may be added to produce a more attractive appearance. The next part of the process is to add the cover which is made of several components. Endpapers are used to hold the pages in place, they can be can be plain or printed. These will be glued to the book block and to the inside front and back covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
