We
use perfect binding
hand bound perfect binding - assembled and bound by hand to exacting standards
for increased durability and longevity. Single sheets are collated and bound
at the edge using a binding method which enables the adhesive to penetrate
into the spine itself, giving a very strong hold on the internal pages.
Endpapers
We use 270gsm (or 160gsm in the small photo book) wove ivory endpapers -
deluxe heavyweight smooth paper in ivory colour. Endpapers are the pages
that go between the cover and book block. they hold the book into its covers.
The cover - boards
We use high quality board for covers - to provide ample protection for the
internal leaves. Cheap cover boards impair the life of your book. Read more
facts about our books.
The cover - fabric
We print to satin book cloth from which your cover is made. This ensures
the best possible finish and effectively means your image IS the cover.
Satin
ribbon bookmark
The perfect finishing touch! This is bound into the spine, see self-explanatory
pic.
Spine
spine colour chosen to complement the colour scheme of your book. You can
even add text to it, useful if you are buying a series of books or if it
is going to be put in the book case.
Edge to edge print
on the internal pages - this is where the image is printed slightly larger
and then chopped to size.
