Specs & options
Two ways to bind a book.
Paperbacks are perfect-bound with a 350 gsm laminated card cover — light, flexible and the classic choice for novels and reports. Hardbacks wrap the same perfect-bound block in a rigid 2000-micron greyboard case for something that earns its place on the shelf. Whichever you pick, the inside pages are yours to specify.
