For Hard Cover books, covers are printed full-color on a gloss stock that is then laminated and glued to a heavy 100 pt. book board. Other options are a little more limited on Hard Cover books, but we do have a Silk lamination and a Linen lamination available.
All of our book covers are printed full-color on the outside (front, back and spine) but are blank on the inside. Printing on the inside is highly discouraged, because it will interfere with the binding quality, but it is available at an additional cost if you must have it.
A hardcover, hardback, or hardbound book is one bound with rigid protective covers (typically of cardboard covered with cloth, heavy paper, buckram, or occasionally leather). It may have a flexible, sewn spine which allows the book to lie flat on a surface when opened, or have a glued spine. Following the ISBN sequence numbers, books of this type are identified by the abbreviation Hbk.
Hardcover books are often printed on acid-free paper, and are much more durable than paperbacks, which have flexible, easily damaged paper covers. Hardcover books are marginally more costly to manufacture. Hardcovers are frequently protected by artistic dust jackets, but a "jacketless" alternative is becoming increasingly popular: these "paper-over-board" or "jacketless hardcover" bindings forgo the dust jacket in favor of printing the cover design directly onto the board binding. <Wikipedia>
Our GriotBooks come in several different cover types. Our "specialty" covers require a setup fee because we have to order the die (ink) that is different then the ink we use to create our standard covers. Listed below are the different cover types. Click each link for a description and setup prices.
Please note: The setup price is set for each order. If you reorder additional copies of your GriotBook AFTER your initial order, you will have to pay a new setup price.
