Is the hard cover option the best for my book? 
While it is true that many people choose the hard cover option for their initial order of books, there are some advantages to producing certain types of books in paperback, saddle stitch (paperback with two staples at the spine), or coil bound formats. For example, a 20 page children's book would be ideally suited to the saddle stitch format while a family history book would be best suited to a more permanent hard cover binding.

Most companies will give you the choice of doing this yourself or having our designers prepare the page layout for you.
